On behalf of the Lakewood School District and the Lakewood Help Educate Lakewood Pupils Citizens Committee, we want to thank the community for approving the two propositions in the recent election. We believe the passage of these two initiatives, the Educational Programs &Operations Levy and a Capital Projects &Technology Levy, demonstrates Lakewood’s continued investment in providing the best education for our youth and continuing to build our strong community. These levies will enable us to keep the operations of the school in order and provide for the costly maintenance and technology upkeep. Thank you!
Two years ago, the Lakewood voters approved a bond for building a new high school. With construction set to start this spring and doors opening in 2017, we could not be more optimistic about the bright future ahead. We attribute the success of the bond and these two levies to a community that values education and a belief that our friends and neighbors who live in our district recognize the worth of Lakewood School District. The message is clear: Education is important, and the sense of pride in our community is strong.
Countless hours were spent to educate the public regarding the importance of these two levies. Our H.E.L.P Committee organized weekly meetings attended by dedicated volunteers. These volunteers were out putting up signs, designing and mailing postcards, and creating a strong grass-roots Facebook presence. There was a concentrated effort to walk around neighborhoods with high voter turn-outs and hang flyers on doors. We are proud to be a part of such a dedicated team of volunteers, and a school district that puts the education of its students first.
Again, we thank you for your continued support; Our Schools, Our Community.
