In the midst of so much health and safety information and focus, it’s fun to watch the “normal” work of learning and growing continue here at school.
Our librarian, Ms. Gallegos, has kicked off one of our favorite Lawton traditions – the Global Reading Challenge. 4th and 5th graders are reading books and preparing for the challenge itself which will happen later this winter. Our Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders are doing their annual winter reading assessments – this provides teachers an opportunity to celebrate progress and identify next steps for all students.
Ask your student about what they are learning and doing this week!

If you are willing to occasionally step in to help supervise patrol, please email Amanda. The dates we are currently looking for a substitute volunteer are:
- January 25 & 26
- February 14-18
- April 18-22

Lawton Covid Update. This week (1/17 – 1/21), Lawton sent six classroom COVID notifications.
Is it time to refresh or replace your mask? We notice several cloth masks that are losing their original fit and leaving noses peeking out. Please double check that your student’s mask is well-fitting (covers their mouth and nose completely and stays in place). We encourage medical grade masks when possible and appreciate each student having a spare mask or two in their backpack.
