During STEAM Week (January 26– February 2), Lakewood students will engage in a school-wide project titled “Lakewood’s Most Magnificent Thing.” Inspired by The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires and Adrienne Gear’s guide, students will explore the IDEATE, MAKE, and SHARE stages of the design process to create their own “magnificent things.”  Your child’s teacher will be sending out information, soon, as to what each student needs to make their creation.  This is a week long school wide event.
