Pay It Forward With The PTA

Support Lakewood PTAs December 13 at Jammy Buggars!

On Tuesday, December 13, take a break from holiday shopping or your regular dinner routine by eating at Jammy Buggars! Lakewood Council of PTAs will receive 15% of your total bill as part of Jammy Buggars' Pay It Forward Tuesdays.

You may not know that Lakewood Council of PTAs is the organizing and communication body for all Lakewood City School PTAs. It meets monthly and sponsors programs to benefit Lakewood City School students, including Lakewood Early Childhood PTA (LECPTA). The Reflections Art Program encourages students to express themselves through visual arts, music, dance and film. Educator of the Year and Helping Hands Awards recognize the excellence of teachers and staff in each building and the District.

Recognizing the excellence of Lakewood students, Lakewood Council of PTAs awards $1,000 scholarships to graduating Lakewood High School students each year. Students from LHS and Westshore Career-Technical District are eligible; a student from each program receives an award.

In addition to its work directly with schools, Lakewood Council of PTAs has partnered with Lakewood Public Library on numerous projects to benefit the community. For the last two years, Council and the Library have offered "Please Stop the Roller Coaster," a parenting class for parents of teenagers, at no cost to participants. And this year Council has worked with Friends of Lakewood Public Library to offer its "School in the Cinema" documentary film series. Again, these films are available for free to those who attend.

Lakewood Council of PTAs does a lot to benefit the community, and appreciates that Jammy Buggars likes to Pay It Forward! You can, too! Mention the PTA when you dine at Jammy Buggars (15625 Detroit Avenue) Tuesday, December 13 - help Council help Lakewood students! Thank you!
