2026-2027 School Supply List

4K students planted their sunflowers and wildflower seeds in the school garden this week. They are crossing their fingers that they will see colorful blooms when they return to kindergarten in the fall.

Friendly reminder that our last day of school is this Friday. Students will be released at 11:00!

On Wednesday, we recognized some students who raised money for the Kid's Heart Challenge. As a reward for their hard work, they were able to "slime" Mr. Kouvelis!

Second and third grade had an awesome time at the Milwaukee Public Museum yesterday! By far, their favorite exhibits were the butterfly exhibit and the planetarium show!

We always love ending the year with our annual Band and Choir dinner. These students were recognized for their musicianship, leadership, growth, and willingness to help others. We also said goodbye to 17 wonderful 8th graders who gave so much to the program and wished them well as they journey off to high school. Thanks for another great year of music making! 🎶💙🎵💛

Reminder!

Last Friday, our 6th-8th graders took a trip to Madison! They made stops at the Wisconsin Veteran's Museum and the Henry Villas Zoo. It was an eventful day, and the kids had a lot of fun!

We hope that all of the mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and mother-like members of our community had a wonderful day yesterday! We are so thankful for all that you do!

A huge congratulations to our 4th-6th grade Battle of the Books participants on all of their hard work! 📚👏

Together, these students read an incredible 37 books and competed in 9 different battles, answering questions about the stories they read. Their dedication, teamwork, and love of reading truly showed throughout the competition.

We are so proud of all of their effort and accomplishments — great job, readers! 🎉

Families, don't forget that tomorrow is our Building Strong Hands for School Success event! This event will be hosted by our school's wonderful Occupational Therapist, Erin Armstrong, and is geared for children ages 2-6. We hope to see you there!

For teacher appreciation week, teachers were honored in multiple ways!

On Monday, teachers received breakfast.
On Tuesday, teachers were provided lunch by our PTO.
On Thursday, teachers were given flowers.
And on Wednesday and Friday they were provided snacks and drinks.

Thank you so much to our admin and PTO for coming together to appreciate our teachers this week!

What a Sparkling Success! ✨

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined our Bedazzling Event! 💎📚
The creativity and smiles made the event special.
Mrs. Knaack is planning to host more in the future!

We loved seeing students, families, and friends come together to add a little sparkle to their love of books! ✨

Please share as we make the shift in our social media platform. Also, an updated website will be coming shortly!

Last week, Lakewood proudly held our annual National Junior Honor Society Induction Ceremony, welcoming seven new 6th and 7th grade students into NJHS! 🎉
Students are selected based on academic excellence, as well as their character, leadership, and commitment to service. We are honored to welcome these outstanding students and celebrate our current members.

We also recognized our 8th graders as they prepare to graduate, celebrating their many accomplishments.

This year, NJHS made a big impact—donating a Gaga Ball Pit to Lakewood, raising $500 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, organizing the school’s Variety Show, and completing over 200 hours of community service.

We are so proud of our NJHS students!

Last yoga session of the school year is today!

Join us in a community event of yoga, breathe work and mindfulness. Invest in your self with an hour of self care with neighbors and friends, an hour of peace and calm, while engaging our bodies and minds, stretching, strengthening, finding balance, and using our breath. This class is an all-level class for ages 7 and up. Yoga mats and props supplied.

Your investment: an hour of your time. This is a free offering sponsored by a wellness grant.

We can’t wait for you to join us in a relaxing evening of togetherness. 🤍
