Unbelievably, it's time again to think fireworks. As always, our stand will be located at the corner of Carson Street and Los Coyotes Diagonal. Please be sure to visit us for all of your fireworks needs between July 1st and July 4th. We also need volunteers to help us staff our stand. If you are interested, please send us an e-mail with your contact information and we'll get back to you ASAP. As always, the proceeds will be used to support our teacher grant program.
Speaking of teacher grants, the final tally on last year's grants is as follows:
*A total of $13,167 was given to 55 teachers from the Long Beach, Bellflower, and ABC school districts. Many of the grants were shared by multiple teachers. No teachers from the Paramount School District applied.
We are hopeful that this year's fireworks stand, coupled with the fundraising of the new Lakewood Education Foundation, will enable us to double or even triple the amount of money available for 2008 teacher grants. Keep your fingers crossed.
Thank you all very much for your continued support!
