Laketown needs your voice, energy and time! The F.A.C.E. team is a committee of parents, staff, and community partners that meets monthly to discuss and form action plans on topics that needs our focus. We come together to learn and set goals for the year to support student achievement. "Let's breakdown the barrier and start working together"!
