Our students have been working with an emotional pickle – helping when they are struggling with their emotions.

Bring your bottles and cans to our parking lot on Sunday March 3rd.  Thank you for supporting Lakewood Elementary

We talked about being kind, the origin of Pink Shirt day and about the importance of standing together to stand up to bullying.

Our PAC will be holding a bottle drive on March 2nd in our front parking lot.  They will need volunteers to host this event,  each shift is only 1 hour.  Without volunteer support this event will be cancelled.

We have a new email to use to report your child’s absence.  Please use lakewood@sd62.bc.ca to report your child’s absence as well as your child’s teacher’s email.  This allows the office to be in the loop for absences as well as letting you email outside of office hours.  This email is checked regularly throughout the day.
