PTA members, mark your calendars: Our General Membership Meeting will take place on Thursday, 3/21 at 6pm in the Lawton Library.

Principal Newsletter 3.4.24
Dear Lawton Families,
Last week the Magnolia and Blaine communities were notified that a man in a car had approached students walking on the sidewalk and exposed himself to them.

Recycle for Good – Last Day March 4
Let’s show Mother Earth a little love this Valentine’s season and recycle some hard to recycle items!
