Weekly update from Principal Amanda Cote...
Excitement was in the air as seventh graders put their engineering skills to the test, hoping their towers were strong enough to withstand the force of a simulated earthquake. After surviving the initial quake, weights were added for an additional challenge.
As part of the project engineering elective at Lakewood Middle School, seventh graders designed and built the towers using resources in the school’s STEM Lab. They built on concepts from sixth grade Design Tech, where they were introduced to the skills needed to construct and test wooden bridges.
Lakewood student musicians brought some holiday cheer to seniors in our community this month. Lakewood Middle School band and choir students visited Fields Senior Living and Lakewood High School jazz band and choir performed at Windsor Square Senior Living.
The students also had a chance to visit with residents and hear their stories. One resident shared her story of performing as a trumpet player in the All Female Air Force Band for President Kennedy's inauguration.
Thank you to staff, families, and community partners who came together to provide clothes, books, and toys for 89 students in need.
The Snohomish PUD stopped by to deliver items for 10 students donated by Stanwood line crews (pictured). Families also had the opportunity to pick out a toy from Toys for Tots.
