Hi Stallion Families, 


This morning was a FUN one!  We welcomed Woodrow Wilson HS cheerleaders and drumline to help kick off ticket sales for LECPTA’s Auction Party, Lakewood Dreams.  If you’ve never attended this event, you don’t want to miss it!  Learn more below and help LECPTA raise critical funds for our neighborhood schools while you dance and dream the night away!  


Fall temps are here, and Fall Fest is around the corner!  The last day to preorder your Fall Fest shirts is tomorrow, so don’t delay!  While you’re on the site, sign up for a volunteer shift (we need you!) and go ahead and get your wristbands. Then you’ll be set! 


Last but not least, THANK YOU to everyone who has donated to the Stallion Strong Family Giving Campaign. If you haven’t had a chance, now’s the time!  The campaign ends Monday, September 30.  Visit the site here.


Hope to see you at the Homecoming game tomorrow night!! Lakewood Elementary PTA is proud to be the Title Sponsor. Get your tickets online here. As a Woodrow graduate myself, I’ll definitely be cheering for the Wildcats!!


Best regards,

Caitlin
