Lakewood City Schools' Board of Education is currently considering whether to close and repurpose one or even two of Lakewood's seven neighborhood elementary schools - some of our community's most precious assets. Lincoln, Grant, and Roosevelt are being considered.
Preserve Lakewood Schools is now working to keep all of these publicly funded buildings operating as-is, along with advocating to restore transparency and strategy to the Lakewood Board of Education.
This is a pivotal moment. Join us for a Month of Action to stand up for Lakewood's children, schools, and community. Together, we can make a difference.

Wednesday, August 27, 5-6:30pm @ Lakewood Park Playground
Join us for an informal get-together where the kids can play and grab snacks, and adults can learn the latest about what's happening and what you can do to help (from quick tasks to full roles). Learn More and RSVP.
Tuesday, September 2
5-6:30pm - Chalk Flash Mob @ Garfield Middle School
Come chalk your positive sentiments about our schools and our vision for Lakewood so the school board sees them when they arrive for their planned meeting. Meet outside of Garfield Middle School. Kids welcome, and we will serve pizza to keep energy up for the meeting.
7:00pm - School Board Meeting @ Garfield Middle School
Share your opinion with the school board and make public comments during their meeting. Public speaking not your thing? Wear a button and sit with the group in support.
Thursday, October 2, 6:30-8:30pm @ Lakewood Woman's Pavilion, Lakewood Park
Learn about the candidates running for school board and their priorities. Two school board seats are open and will be elected by Lakewood voters November 4 (early voting begins October 7).
