Press Release:
The newly formed Lakewood Education Foundation, in conjunction with the Lakewood Schools Committee (formerly the Lakewood Unified School District Organizing Committee) is proud to announce that we provided a record $28,000 in cash grants to 72 Lakewood teachers for the 2008-09 school year. This is the most awarded in the history of the grant program which began in 2003 and now has provided approximately $80,000 in direct financial assistance to 255 Lakewood teachers.
While the Lakewood Schools Committee continues its advocacy for improvements to the educational delivery system in Lakewood, the Lakewood Education Foundation was formed as a public charity that raises money to provide direct support to Lakewood schools, teachers, and students.
This year’s grants enabled the purchase of a variety of educational materials including, books, mathematic learning programs, newspaper subscriptions, microscopes, classroom organizers, laptop computers, classroom projectors, and much more. We also funded several educational field trips.
The Lakewood Schools Committee is entirely funded by an annual fireworks stand.
The Lakewood Education Foundation relies on donations and an annual golf tournament for its funding. All contributions are tax deductible. Our next golf tournament is scheduled for August 14, 2008.
Anyone interested in contributing or volunteering for either organization is encouraged to call (562) 496-3559.
