Behind the scenes: Facilities staff work to prepare schools for fall

While students were enjoying summer break, Lakewood’s custodians and facilities team were hard at work behind the scenes. Our teams repaired HVAC systems in classrooms, installed ADA-accessible ramps on portables, and set up ovens for the new Lakewood High School CTE Culinary Program.

Staff repaved the service road behind the stadium used by buses traveling to Lakewood High School and Cougar Creek Elementary, improving reliability for daily transportation.

Welcome to our new Lakewood deans

Fun, food and community at Resource and Wellness Fair

Kujo the Cougar had so much fun cheering everyone on at the Back-to-School Resource and Wellness Fair last week! The Lakewood High School cougar mascot visited with the district’s SRO, played golf with the City of Marysville Recreation Department, tried to win a prize at the duck pond with Lakewood staff, and gave lots of high-fives!

Special thanks to our event partners, LINC Northwest and United Lakewood Coalition, and our volunteers, including LHS Volleyball and Lakewood staff members. In addition, LifeChurch360 provided food and backpacks, and Chartwells donated some icy treats to help keep everyone cool. Donations of backpacks and supplies also came in from: Amazon (Arlington), Burger King, Coastal Community Bank, Heritage Bank, LINC Northwest, Movement Mortgage, and free haircuts were provided from Hair by Mel.

Construction update: LMS cafeteria work nearly complete

Construction crews have been hard at work this summer in the Lakewood Middle School cafeteria, making improvements that will create a more comfortable and efficient lunch experience for students when they return this fall.

A key part of the project has already arrived: new cafeteria tables designed to maximize space and increase seating capacity. The table delivery marks an exciting milestone in the ongoing cafeteria remodel, one of several facility improvement projects made possible through strong community support.

Community panel explores technology’s impact on students

Interest in the effects of smartphones, social media, and other technology on children and society has only increased since Jonathan Haidt’s book The Anxious Generation was published two years ago.

Thank you to Sno-Isle Libraries for bringing together a thoughtful panel to discuss this important topic on Aug. 10 at Lakewood High School.
