One of the neatest things about being part of a Lakewood elementary school is our strong community connections as a result of being structured as a neighborhood school. It is a sense that is ever-present; at the same time, there are special occasions when it really come to the forefront.Our Ice Cream Social last week was one of those times. We had a beautiful evening and an incredible turnout. Parents shared they felt a real sense of belonging and pride as they walked up to the school (their kids ran for the ice cream), seeing the scene of joyful chaos surrounding the annual gathering organized by our prolific PTA.
The event had a new guest star this year: Addicted Ice Cream and Coffee (https://www.addictedcoffeebar.com/). Of course, there were the usual sprinkles on the side, but everyone waited in line with anticipation for funky flavors like Peanut Butter, Superman and Cookie Monster. Plus, who doesn't love a food truck?! Big thanks to our new friends at Addicted for partnering with us to make the evening special :)
School/community partnerships are vital to the success of a school. We are always open to exploring new offers of support for students' academic, physical and/or emotional growth. If you have ideas about how we can further connect with our community, please be in touch!
