Principal Newsletter – January 28, 2022

Lawton staff and students will join with teachers and students from across the nation to participate in Black Lives Matter at School Week. This is an educator-generated week of action and commitment to ensuring students thrive in welcoming environments. Lessons aim to help students understand inequities based on race and promote the belief that every person has a responsibility to work for equity as a core idea.

At their board meeting on Wednesday, January 26, 2022, the Seattle School Board adopted a resolution encouraging district-wide participation in the Black Lives Matter At School Week from January 31 – February 4. The Lawton Student Union will be sharing a lesson on Friday, February 4th, with all classrooms about Jackie Robinson which will culminate in a bulletin board outside of the library to show what all students what to throw out of Lawton, i.e. racism, bullying, unkind words.
