LHS Seniors Looking to Establish a Class Scholarship

Summer may not be officially over, but the doors of Lakewood City Schools have opened and our community is again filled the laughter of children during recess and the ring of school bells throughout our neighborhoods. While district students at Lakewood High School are focusing on homework, Friday nights, and planning for their future, they are also looking to give back to their community. The days for LHS Seniors are dwindling and as these students reflect upon their time in Lakewood, they are beginning to realize the many gifts afforded to them by this community, sparking a desire to give back. The LHS senior class is looking to promote academic success, active volunteerism, and a continuation into secondary education through the establishment of a Class of 2018 Scholarship Fund.

The scholarship will be given out annually to a graduating high school senior pursuing secondary-education who has shown a commitment to school leadership, character-building, and volunteerism. The Class of 2018 Scholarship Fund will be hosted by the Lakewood Rangers Education Foundation (formerly the Lakewood Alumni Association) where the money donated will be pooled and invested, allowing for long-term growth and sustainability to support an annual scholarship. In order to establish this permanent annual scholarship these students are seeking to fundraise $7,000 through two main avenues.

This Wednesday September 6th, the LHS Senior Class has partnered with Angelo's Pizza to run an fundraiser where whenever a customer mentions the scholarship fund, 20% of their bill will be directly donated. However if you are unable to attend or you are looking to additionally help Lakewood High School, anyone can make this scholarship possible by directly donating to this project. One can visit the Lakewood Rangers Education Foundation website to donate online, or one can mail a check to 14100 Franklin Blvd. Lakewood, OH 44107 making it out to the Lakewood Rangers Education Foundation and writing in the note line Class of 2018 Scholarship. This scholarship will only be possible with the generous donations of Lakewood students, alumni, teachers, residents, and caring individuals. If you have any questions please contact the executive director of the Lakewood Rangers Education Foundation, Terri M. Richards at terri.richards@lakewoodcityschools.org or 216-529-4033.

Please help the Class of 2018 begin its path in giving back to the Lakewood community that has always been so supportive of the Lakewood City School system.
