Video: Margaret Mead Elementary celebrates during Grand Opening Ceremony

Before Seahawks Dancers led students in a countdown to cut the ribbon at their new school, parents and guests at Margaret Mead Elementary were treated to songs from more than 600 students. The Grand Opening celebration on November 14 also marked the school’s 40th anniversary. Retired teachers and staff received applause at the door as they arrived to celebrate with students.

Speakers included Superintendent Dr. Jane Stavem, School Board President Siri Bliesner, Principal Sandy Klein and Capital Projects Manager Laura DeGooyer.

Siri Bliesner, LWSD School Board President, thanked the community for their support, which will “ensure a welcoming and inclusive environment for all our kids in the community for years to come.”
