Congratulations to Lakewood High School teacher Christina Pedersen who was selected as the VFW Teacher of the Year at Post #1561 and District #1 (Snohomish County).
In her classes, Pedersen makes connections with students and helps them become socially aware citizens.
During their January Cougar Cabinet, facilitators started with a collaborative game called, "Monkey, palm tree, elephant," which helped students practice collaborating with the two people on either side of them.
After meeting in school groups, students met in mixed groups to share ideas. Some favorite examples included creating posters and PSA public service announcements to encourage classmates to clean up after themselves, peer mentoring, and thinking up ways to be welcoming to new students and substitute teachers.
Schools have been celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy of love, compassion and service.
At LHS, nine advanced American Sign Language students volunteered to sign for the entire assembly.
As part of its commitment to improve energy efficiencies and reduce utility costs, Lakewood School District is pleased to announce it has been awarded a grant from the Washington State Department of Commerce and an energy incentive from Snohomish PUD. The total energy-efficiency funding of $538,885 will be used to install energy-efficient LED lighting at Lakewood Middle School and Lakewood High School’s Dick Cardinal Stadium.
The grant award of $293,663 from the Department of Commerce is one of 26 grants in Washington state and one of four in Snohomish County. Snohomish PUD incentivized Lakewood’s grant with a contribution of $245,222. Funded by the Climate Commitment Act, the Commerce grants are expected to play a key role in helping buildings meet Washington’s Clean Buildings Performance Standards.
January 16 was Temperance and Good Citizenship Day, a day where educators across Washington State promote the importance of civics education and engagement.
One of the many ways educators do this is by helping 16- and 17-year-olds pre-register to vote through the state's Future Voter program. Students who sign up for the program will be automatically registered to vote when they turn 18.
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.

Strategic Planning
We Are Lakewood
Thank you to everyone who took part in the survey asking about our community's three strategic priorities outlined in the Lakewood Compact. The Strategic Planning Committee has been meeting to discuss each priority and brainstorm what each priority might look like for Lakewood. The committee will request additional feedback from families and our community in March.
