Did you know that this year you have the opportunity to donate to a partner school along with your support of Lawton Elementary?
Lawton PTA has chosen Bailey Gatzert Elementary as our SPS partner school and we hope that this is the beginning of a long-term partnership between our schools. Our partnership with Bailey Gatzert developed out of an existing relationship cultivated by Lawton’s PTA Outreach Committee. Located in the Central District, Bailey Gatzert serves a population of ~300 pre-K through grade 5 students. At Gatzert, 94% of the population are students of color, 33% of students are English Language Learners, and 18% are students with disabilities. You can help Bailey Gatzert’s Family Partners Group break down education barriers by ensuring families have access to key learning resources, such as translation services, critical materials to improve at-home learning and additional academic assistance for their diverse population of students.
Watch these videos to learn more about a Day in the Life of a Bailey Gatzert student. The Kindergarten Welcome video is an introduction to the teachers and administrative staff. You may find this to be a good way to connect with the Bailey Gatzert community.
Please help support our partner school with a supplemental donation to the Bailey Gatzert’s Family Partners Group here. Your contribution to Bailey Gatzert is in addition to any donation you make to the Lawton PTA Direct Drive.Â
