Today’s school spirit day is full of joyful rainbows and we are all enjoying watching our salmon continue to grow under the care and guidance of our student helpers. Many salmon in the tank are already at the alevin stage – meaning they look like tiny versions of the fish they will become.
Ask your student about school this week – what is something interesting they talked about with their peers?
Lawton Community School Budget Survey
Lawton Elementary has started our annual budgeting processes for the coming year. We want your input!
Please take the 5-minute school budget survey linked here before February 19th.
This survey is intended to collect community input and priorities that should be considered by the Building Leadership Team (BLT) during the school budget process. The school and PTA budgeting processes are separate, but they run on similar cycles and work together—with the PTA often choosing to fund or supplement things that the school budget can’t provide. The PTA sent a separate survey to collect feedback on funding priorities for PTA money.
