Lakewood Elementary is delighted to welcome New York Times bestselling author Aaron Reynolds, author of many highly acclaimed books for kids including the Caldecott Honor Medalist CREEPY CARROTS!, CREEPY PAIR OF UNDERWEAR!, NERDY BIRDY, NERDY BIRDY TWEETS, RESCUING MRS. BIRDLY, and CAVEBOY DAVE.
Permission slips have been sent to parents to give permission for their child to attend the author's visit. You can order a book to be autographed by Aaron Reynolds when he visits.

How will birthdays be celebrated on campus?
Our students are extremely important to us, and we want them to feel celebrated. To ensure the safety of all students, birthday treats must be store bought and sealed in the store bought package. Individually packaged/wrapped treats by the store are preferred. For your convenience, the school cafeteria will have ice cream treats available for purchase as well. If you would like to purchase items from the cafeteria, please contact your child’s teacher ASAP so we can help make arrangements for this purchase prior to arriving at the cafeteria.
