Mission Statement
The mission of the Lakewood Rangers Education Foundation (LREF) is to serve both current students in the Lakewood City Schools as well as thousands of Lakewood Alumni. LREF serves current students in the Lakewood City Schools by providing educational enrichment opportunities that enhance excellence in learning, and elevate the quality of each and every student's education, at the elementary, middle or high school levels. LREF serves Lakewood Alumni by serving as a touchstone to the current school community, an information clearing house for classmates and a facilitator for reunions.
About This Cause
The Lakewood Rangers Education Foundation (LREF) is a charitable 501(c)(3) organization started in 1984 with the purpose of supporting the Lakewood City Schools with supplemental funding as well as serving as a resource for alumni engagement with the schools and each other. LREF endeavors to provide the opportunities that we have come to expect for our children as part of a well-rounded, world-class public education but which the local school district and the state can no longer include in their budgets. LREF raises and distributes funds for a full-time college counselor at LHS, academics, athletics and music - including an instrument rent to own program and scholarships for lessons, provides college scholarships for graduating seniors, awards teacher grants for innovative classroom projects and assists families in need with fees associated with participation in sports, testing, college applications, the arts and other co-curricular activities. Since inception, LREF has distributed almost 4 million dollars in support for Lakewood Schools and its students, including an average of $100,000 per year for the past five years.
