Lawton Move-a-Thon

We like to MOVE IT MOVE IT!

Move-a-Thon is Friday, May 12! The PTA’s annual Move-a-Thon is a festive, supportive opportunity for our kids to run, walk, skip and dance around the upper field until the music stops. It’s a fun-filled event with lots of parent involvement, and a big accomplishment for our kiddos. Thanks to our sponsor Metropolitan Market!

We need lots of parent helpers (at least 3 per class) to help set up in the morning, track laps, run with the kids and otherwise encourage our movers to keep on keeping on. This is a high-reward, quick and easy outdoor volunteer opportunity—the more the merrier!

Sign up here.

See the time schedule below and arrive at the field 10 minutes before your child’s session to get instructions. Parents of K – 3rd graders with full SPS volunteer clearance should head to their classroom to help the kids pin on their numbers.

8:00 – 8:45 // 4th grade

8:50 – 9:35 // 5th grade

9:40 – 10:25 // 1st grade

10:35 – 11:20 // Kindergarten

12:30 – 1:15 // 2nd grade

1:20 – 2:05 // 3rd grade

** Don’t forget to send your child to school on May 12 with a water bottle and athletic clothes! **

Teacher Appreciation Week

It’s time to show Lawton Staff our LOVE! 

Staff Appreciation Week is May 8th to 12th!

The Lawton PTA is generously providing a coffee cart on Monday and catered lunches for all staff on Tuesday and Thursday. Geni’s Ethiopian Catering is donating desserts on Friday. We’re hoping Lawton families will match this generosity by donating breakfast items to compliment the coffee cart on Monday, snacks for Wednesday, desserts on Tuesday and Thursday, and drinks for the entire week. 

If you are interested in contributing, please review this Sign Up Genius to sign up. We’d love to have a combination of store-bought grab-and-go items and homemade items (please include ingredient list).

All items should be dropped off to Mikelle Nuwer at least one day before they are requested. Email website@lawtonelementary.org for more information.

School Night at the Sounders!

Sounders FC has invited Lawton students and their families to participate in School Night at the Sounders! They are offering discounted tickets to all local schools for our May 7th match. Families can purchase their own tickets with THIS LINK if they are interested.

The event is May 7th at 1:30 PM.

Volunteers Needed!

Movie Night – April 28

One of our students initiated this fun Movie Night event, and the PTA is making it happen! If it is successful, we hope to host more events like these in the future.

We can’t do it without the help of volunteers! Please consider signing up!

After School Enrichment

The PTA is in need of a parent volunteer who can be on-site on Mondays from 2:15-4:15pm to assist. The volunteer makes sure that the instructors arrive and check attendance, makes sure everyone gets picked up by their caregivers and instructors leave the building. It’s a very easy gig!

For helping out, the PTA will cover the cost of your child/ren if they are in any enrichment classes!

Please email website@lawtonelementary.org if you are interested.
