How is middle school already almost over for these kids?!
Today, we celebrated our 8th graders during their farewell ceremony and spent the afternoon at their 8th Grade Celebration making memories together, laughing, and finished the day signing yearbooks one last time.
It’s hard to believe this chapter is coming to a close. We are so proud of this class and grateful for the impact they’ve had on Lakewood. Once a Cougar, always a Cougar.

Bag of Books!
Huge thanks to the Blue Valley Educational Foundation ( )and the Lakewood Middle PTO for donating new books to our library and continuing to support literacy for our students. We also loved partnering together to bring author Jerry Craft to Blue Valley middle schools this spring!
The hugs said it all.
Today’s senior grad walk was more than just a tradition. It was a reminder of the lasting impact of the relationships built inside these hallways. Watching graduating seniors reconnect with former teachers through hugs, smiles, laughter, and conversations was something really special.
Years may go by, but the connections built at Lakewood remain.
Congratulations, Class of 2026. Once a Cougar, always a Cougar.

Life Saving Leaders at Lakewood
Our free CPR & AED training event started as an idea within our Lakewood Student Activities Committee (LSAC).
LSAC focuses on three main priorities at Lakewood: student involvement/inclusion, school spirit, and safety. What began as conversations about school safety and student leadership eventually turned into a community event that trained more than 150 people tonight!
Our students helped shape the vision for this event, partnered with 13BEATS, and worked alongside the Overland Park Fire Department to help bring life-saving training to our school community.
Proud of these students for showing that leadership is about more than just participating. It is about using your ideas, voice, and passions to make a difference for others.
Lakewood Learns Life Saving Skills ❤️
Over 150 people were trained in CPR & AED awareness today at Lakewood!
Huge thank you to 13BEATS for helping make this event possible, the Overland Park Fire Department for facilitating the training, our LSAC student leaders, and everyone who came out to learn life-saving skills.
It was incredible to see our community come together around something so important.

One person’s junk…is another student’s learning!
8th grade ELA students created junk journals as a way to review a chapter in their current novel. Students incorporated key details, analysis, and text evidence to demonstrate their understanding.

Keeping the kindness GOing at Lakewood
Today’s theme was GO, and students headed to the track during FLEX for a kindness walk for fresh air, movement, and time together.
