It is with great enthusiasm that I endorse Reg Cox for his invaluable partnership with Foothills Elementary School. His unwavering commitment to supporting our students, staff and families has significantly enhanced our school’s ability to foster a nurturing and enriching educational environment.

Through our ongoing partnership (Whiz Kids, Foothills Hub, donations) Reg and Lakewood Connects have demonstrated a genuine dedication to our mission of helping every child succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. Their collaborative spirit has positively impacted not only the students but also the broader school community. This partnership enables Whiz Kids, Foothills Foodies and provides donations and basic needs support for members of the Foothills community.

We are incredibly grateful for the partnership with Lakewood Connects and Reg Cox and look forward to continuing our work together.

The Lakewood Connects organization, led by Reg Cox, made it possible for our school (Foothills Elementary) to create partnerships with community businesses, faith-based coalitions, realtors, government officials, radio stations, and other service organizations to establish a shared vision for improving our schools’ presence, service and functionality within the community. Rising crime rates and unkept building sites and playgrounds were eye sores and became targets for crime in the community. Through this partnership, we were able to collaboratively work with GOCO (Great Outdoors Colorado Organization) to design, raise money, and secure grants for the construction of a half-million dollar field and playground reconstruction—providing needed resources to school children and community members alike. Additionally, this project brought community members together around a purpose and created a renewed sense of togetherness. As a result, Foothills Elementary became a hub in the community – fostering tutoring opportunities for disadvantaged students, and providing for community needs through various programs and social events, as well as sustaining an exceptional education opportunity for all children. There is no monetary value that I can place on a partnership of this type – I am just thankful that were fortunate enough to be a part of such a positive movement.
