It’s April already (no fooling!). In March we celebrated all things STEAM, and in April we highlight reading, poetry, and literature at Lawton.

Library Leaders are part of our 4th/5th grade clubs, and this month we also have our Lawton Student Union (club) visiting K-3 classes to teach about Ruby Bridges, our Capoeira club teaching us about the practice at an assembly, our Newspaper club just published their 2nd “Lawton Times” edition, and our Book/Movie club has decided this month

Spring has sprung! Hope you are enjoying the gorgeous weather, and there was a wonderful buzz in the air last week at Lawton as we focused on STEAM (and Pi/pie!).

Our celebration of science, technology, engineering, art and math is a Lawton tradition that helps promote academic enrichment, innovation, and inquiry for students at all grade levels, and we loved seeing the creative cardboard challenge entries, math challenge sheets and focus on learning at a time
