Lakewood dedicating school in memory of 4 slain officers

LAKEWOOD, Wash. -- The city of Lakewood will be dedicating a new elementary school this September in memory of four police officers killed in 2009.

The Clover Park School District has invited the community to help celebrate the new Four Heroes Elementary School on Thursday, Sept. 10 at 6 p.m.

“I would like to thank Lakewood-area voters for their support of the 2010 school construction bond proposal,” said Debbie LeBeau, Clover Park School District Superintendent. “I am proud to welcome our community to the new school.”

The new school is located at 9101 Lakewood Drive SW in Lakewood.

The school district says the school named in honor of the police officers shot to death at a coffee shop in Lakewood on the morning of Nov. 29, 2009, will honor the dedication and sacrifice public servants make every day.
