Dear Stallion Families,

Thank you for making last weekend’s Fall Fest such a wonderful celebration of our Lakewood community! It was a joy to see our families, students, and staff come together for a day of fun and connection. A special thank-you goes to Ms. Bruce and Ms. Bowen Wright for serving as our PTA chairs for this huge event. Their time, creativity, and hard work, along with the support of our many volunteers, made this special experience possible!

We are also grateful to the parents joining us for parent-teacher conferences this week. These conversations give us valuable time to celebrate your children’s growth, discuss their needs, and set goals together. Thank you to our teachers and staff for the thoughtful preparation and care they bring to each meeting. Our partnership with families is essential to helping every Stallion thrive.

This week also brought our first Super Stallion Ceremony, and we were excited to celebrate students demonstrating Habit 1: Be Proactive and Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind through our Leader in Me program. We are proud of our kiddos for taking responsibility for their choices, setting goals, and showing leadership in their classrooms and across campus!

Looking ahead, Red Ribbon Week is next week. We look forward to coming together to encourage healthy choices and celebrate the bright futures ahead for our students. Please watch for details about the week’s activities and ways to participate.

Thank you for the many ways you show up for our students, support our staff, and make Lakewood such a special place to learn and grow.

Stallion Strong,

Principal Thompson

Thank you to everyone who came out to Fall Fest!

We welcomed more than 2,100 people to Lakewood Elementary's campus-turned-carnival event. What a beautiful, memory making day! Highlights included: the Field of Rides, Midway Games, Main Stage Performances, the Talent Show, Photo Ops, Crafts, FOL's Haunted Hallway... and so much more! 

All in all, Fall Fest 2026 was bigger than ever before - tons of fun, and affordable for families. We couldn't do this without the generosity of our amazing SPONSORS! Please join us in thanking them!

We'll see you next year!
Sincerely, Your Friendly Neighborhood Fall Fest Committee
