Congratulations to our Lakewood jazz musicians, who at the Commencement Bay Jazz Festival! On the vocal side, Swingbeat had an amazing day and they came away with the 2nd place trophy.

The 11th Avenue jazz band delivered an outstanding performance, bringing home a 3rd place trophy.

Lakewood School District has received a $600,000 urgent repair grant from the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to replace Lakewood Elementary’s outdated boiler system. The upgrade will include two commercial-size boilers and heat pumps. The current system has exceeded its lifespan, requires frequent maintenance, and depends on hard-to-find parts.

This new equipment will improve safety, reliability, and comfort for students and staff while increasing efficiency.

Science 11 students at LHS put their knowledge to the test during a hands‑on engineering challenge: the annual egg drop. During the year, students in the class study both chemistry and physics, including forces and motion, as well as energy transfer—concepts that are essential when trying to protect a fragile egg from impact.

Students collaborated in teams to brainstorm and refine their protective capsules. They experimented with a range of designs, but parachutes emerged as a clear favorite this year. Teams cheered when a capsule was opened to reveal an unbroken egg.
