Our goal was to continue the restoration of the local wetlands to its native habitat status. Participants will learned about the importance of conservation efforts and why this habitat is essential to our environment.

A great time was had by all who attended.

Odyssey Booster Club Wants You

Please see dates on Odyssey Parent Booster Page

Odyssey is a Small Learning Community (SLC) program within Lakewood High School, which has a Parent Booster Club run by parents and teachers. The Odyssey Booster Club is a great way to support the program and your student(s). It also provides an opportunity to meet other parents and obtain information about what is happening within the program and at Lakewood High School.

Parent support and fundraising have been a key factor in the success of the program. Our annual student scholarships, class grade-level field trips, classroom equipment and supplies and the annual Banquet are a few of the things our Parent Booster Club continues to sponsor.

Simply come to our meetings to become a member, our meeting dates are listed below. To help us keep in touch with you and provide updates, please fill out and return the bottom portion of this flyer to this table, or to your student’s English or History teacher.
