Lakewood's Advanced Academics

By Sarah Tran

I sought to capture the essence of educational excellence and innovation through an intimate exploration of Lakewood Elementary School's Advanced Academics Program. This visual narrative unfolds within the vibrant classrooms of two dedicated teachers who serve as the torchbearers for academic excellence at the school. As the lens follows their pedagogical journey, viewers are invited to witness the dynamic and nurturing environment that fosters intellectual growth and curiosity.

As I created this video, I was brought back to my childhood of shrill laughter and vibrant colors. Even so, I don't remember my education being as comprehensive as this curriculum. Ms. Miles and Ms. Riley work diligently to make students' educations as fun and informative as they are. I wish that when I was younger, I had teachers who cared as much as they do-teachers who pay attention to each of their students and build activities to suit their varying learning styles and preferences. I would like to thank them for letting me take a small peak into their classrooms, and I hope I was able to convey just how much Ms. Riley and Ms. Miles put into their students.
