Camp Read-A-Lot
Camp
Read-A-Lot will be held in the Lakewood School Library
February 6-10. Kindergarten through grade 5 classes will

and enjoy the campfire.
Students can bring sleeping bags, stuffed animals and
pillows to their library class to make their campfire
experience cozy and comfortable.
The art club has
finished decorating the Camp Read-A-Lot Cabin. Art club
members painted a variety of camping scenes on the cabin.
Greenery, starry lights, a Camp Read-A-Lot sign and camping

Due to the tremendous response at last year's tournament, we have made some significant changes! Please go to Lakewood's website to read more information and download your registration form on the PTO page.
Two Cheeseburgers with Everything!
Sixth grade art students studied Swedish artist Claes Oldenburg, known for his large-scale sculptures of everyday objects, including two 1962 burger sculptures entitled "Two Cheeseburgers with Everything" and "Floor Burger". Next, the students created their own (normal sized) burger sculptures out of everything from brown paper bags for buns to white styrofoam for raw onions. Five of the students' projects can currently be seen at Mandino's Grill here in Twin Lakes.
The art class even mailed an extra burger sculpture to singer Jimmy Buffet, famous for his song "Cheesebuger in Paradise." Mr. Buffett returned an autographed photograph saying, "To Lakewood Art Students- Fins Up! Jimmy Buffett".
