From The Desk of Mr. Zokoe
Lakes Families and Students,
Have a wonderful summer! Keep reading, playing outdoors, and finding a fun adventure. We look forward to hearing about all the fun things that summer provided you when you return in August. As we close up the office for the summer, we will be checking email periodically to assist summer needs. We look forward to the 2026-27 school year and seeing you all at Open House in August. Have a great summer!
