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.

Lakewood recently applied for and received a $25,000 Device Maintenance and Replacement grant from OSPI. This funding will help cover the costs of lost or damaged devices.
With this grant, 70 new Chromebooks have been ordered and will be delivered to our schools to replace missing devices. This will help ensure students have the technology they need for success.

As the end of the semester draws near, the web design class at Lakewood High School has moved beyond HTML and CSS. They are now starting work on JavaScript, a language of its own. And unlike some other computer codes – JavaScript is case sensitive. Teacher Scott Koon demonstrated how the exercise wouldn’t work if he missed the capital letter in the code exercise.
Students in the class build an entire website during the semester. Along the way, they practice thinking creatively to overcome hurdles and they learn to pay attention to details.

Lakewood High School leadership teamed up with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office to "Fill the Squad Car" with food for the Marysville Community Food Bank.
The school has collected about 200 items so far and is hoping to collect more before the drive ends on Nov. 20.
