The transformation at the former Lakewood site is in full swing! This site is the future home of our soon-to-be combined Winnwood & Lakewood Elementary schools. We’re can’t wait to see our students from both schools learning in the brand-new building in August 2025.

A big thank you to all who joined us at the groundbreaking ceremony on this chilly morning, marking the start of a new chapter as we bring together the Lakewood & Winnwood school communities. We've set the stage for an amazing new learning space to welcome students in Aug. 2025!
