Over the past three weeks, some of our elementary students have been playing to learn at Lakewood Summer Academy.
From engaging STEM projects inspired by stories for our youngest learners to Math Adventures for our older elementary students, and even a Middle School Success class for our rising sixth graders, there's been something for everyone.
Along the way, students made new friends, enjoyed outdoor playtime, and discovered exciting new concepts.
