Dear, Lakewood Community-
Happy second day of Fall—it’s such a marvelous time of year. As we watch the seasons change, we also see our young scholars growing and evolving. We look forward to continuing great teaching, building relationships, and helping everyone thrive this season.

A big thank you to everyone who attended Back to School Night! I would also like to extend my gratitude to our PTA Fall Festival Chair, Mrs. Camilla Torrella, for organizing such an epic experience. Scholars, staff, and community members have all commented on the fun, the organization, the excitement, and the engaging activities. We had over 300 families and 20 staff members participate! What a success for our PTA and community-Thank you!
Please remember that Wednesday, 25 September 2024, is our first SY25 PTA-sponsored restaurant night. We encourage you to show your support by patronizing the participating vendors—details are included in this week’s news. Also, a reminder that Friday is an Early Release Day, with dismissal at 12:55 p.m. Please note that there will be no recess that day.
I’m excited to share updates and highlights from our community in this week’s edition of the Eagles’ News From the Lake.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week!

Good evening, Lakewood Community-

This week’s edition has details about the Fall Festival, volunteer opportunities, enrichment activities, Best Buddies, Spirit Wear, fundraising, and more!

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our first PTA meeting of SY25—my principal’s message is linked here—and our third annual Grandparents’/Grandfriends’ Day. Special thanks to our front office staff, Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Robinson, for their warm welcome, our assistant principal-Mrs. Levy, school counselor-Mrs. Gottesman, staff development teacher-Mrs. Khoury, and reading specialist-Mrs. Skrodzki for their incredible support in helping to organize the event, and our building services team, led by our phenomenal manager and assistant manager, Mrs. Chavez and Mr. Decesare, respectively. 

I especially want to take this opportunity to thank all the grandparents and grandfriends who joined us for the celebration on Friday, 6 September 2024. We had Grands from India, Africa, Switzerland, Ukraine, and, of course, good ole- Maryland! Our eldest grandparent in attendance was 82 ½ years young, while our youngest was 52. It was such a beautiful moment to honor and engage with the elders in our community, and the scholars absolutely loved it! We welcome your feedback about Grandparents’/Grandfriends’ Day—please feel free to share your thoughts by sending an email to me and/or Mrs. Levy directly.

All my best,

Dr. Kelly
