Principal Newsletter – January 13, 2023

This week has been a busy one at Lawton, with the bike unit for 3rd – 5th grades in full swing, enrichment programs starting after school, and classrooms spending time learning about the impact of Dr. Martin Luther King’s leadership both in the 1950’s-60’s and in our lives today. Today’s school assembly was a student-led celebration of this learning and launched us into the long weekend with a sense of purpose and excitement.

School Budget Survey

This is the time of year we start budget planning for the next school year. An important part of that process is gathering staff and community input. Please use this community budget survey to share things you want considered as we develop options for next year’s discretionary spending.
