It is with gratitude that we share this video of the moments that made 2018 a year to remember.

Empowering students to be changemakers was a common theme during the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Ella Baker Elementary School on Oct. 5. Ella Baker was a leader and mentor during the Civil Rights movement.
As a thank you to our community, we want to share these new schools with you. LWSD, Ella Baker Elementary, Clara Barton Elementary and the PTSAs are teaming up to offer tours to the public.
Excited parents and students filled the halls of the district’s two new elementary schools during Meet and Greet events on Aug. 30.
While preparing for the first day, Principal Kim Bilanko spoke about the student-centered design of Ella Baker Elementary School.
