Lakewood Home Tour

Every year the Lakewood Early Childhood PTA (LECPTA) donates an astonishing amount of money to both Long and Woodrow. These donations make up large portion of funds of funds raised for both campus PTA organizations. They work tirelessly to take care of their community and their commitment to Long and Woodrow is unmatched.

The Lakewood Home Tour is a huge part of their fundraising efforts and they need volunteers to make it happen. This year LECPTA has designated 6818 Lakeshore as the JL Long Home so our parents, students and alumni can volunteer together to work a tour home. The Lakewood Home Tour is NOVEMBER 12-13, 2021.

Please join in and take a moment to grab some friends and sign up for a shift HERE.

See you there!
