4th Grade TALES from the OREGON TRAIL Performance

DATE CHANGE to Monday, March 25th and Tuesday, March 26th at 5pm. Section date assignments and details to come next week!

Lakewood's Best Buddies is partnering with Dallas ISD's Vision Department again this year! Each year our students make over 100 beeping eggs and put together easter baskets for every Visually Impaired student within Dallas ISD. Even more exciting for the second year in a row, our students have been invited to attend the Annual Beeping Egg Hunt and Sensory Day. Students will have the opportunity to host 3 sensory activity stations for students across the district. We are in need of a few supplies that can be found on our sign-up genius. All supplies are needed by March 19th. 

1st grade: March is your month to keep our Lakewood staff fueled and energized throughout the day! While completely optional, please consider signing up to send in snacks and/or drinks through this link! Let’s show our support and school spirit as CLASS of 2035! 

Also, THANK YOU 2nd grade for doing such a great job stocking the workroom in February.

The last day to order is tomorrow. Order here

Woodrow Dance Booster Club's Egg My Yard is back! We'd love for our feeder pattern schools to participate! Not only would we love for your schools' families to sign up to be egged, we need volunteers (and candy. LOTS of candy). Here is the Amazon wish list, Sign Up Genius, and order form. Woodrow is so special for having school spirit and family involvement, and it all starts with our feeder schools ♥️

Thank you,

Monica Jackson (214.755.4464 for any questions)
