Founded in 1952, the Lakewood Council of PTAs (Parent Teacher Association) has been serving Lakewood’s children and families for over 60 years. Nine PTA/PTSA units with over 1300 members in Lakewood are represented by Council: Lakewood Early Childhood PTA, Grant Elementary, Harrison Elementary, Horace Mann Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary, Garfield Middle School, Harding Middle, and Lakewood High School. This year, the Lakewood Council of PTAs will be hosting a “Welcome Back to School Celebration” for all existing PTA members, new members and their families on Wednesday, August 28th at Garfield Middle School, 6:30pm.
The “Welcome Back to School Celebration” will feature many fun activities, crafts, food, and door prizes intended for all ages and members of the entire family, along with a special appearance by the Lakewood High School cheerleaders and mascot. Each PTA school, including the Early Childhood PTA, will have a booth to sign up new members and renew cards for existing members, a calendar of upcoming PTA events sponsored at each school, and important information to help kids and families have a great school year. Come meet school leaders and get to know fellow PTA members while making some new friends!
