Direct Drive: “Participate Only” Issue
Dear Lawton Community, It has recently come to our attention that Participate Only submissions on our Dolphin Dreams Direct Drive site were not recorded due to changes in how schoolauction.net (the 3rd party site we use for Direct Drive) stores data. This does not affect submissions for participants who made a financial contribution. While this does not impact the funds we are collecting, it does impact how we track our participation goal across classrooms. The Ask For those of you who selected the Participate Only option on the Dolphin Dreams Direct Drive site, we kindly ask that you complete the survey linked to below. This should just take a moment and will ensure that your participation is counted toward your child's classroom (in support of the potential popsicle party, extra recess, and small prize). Your participation also ensures you will be

Direct Drive Raffle Winner
This year's ask is $450 per child. The Dolphin Dreams Direct Drive is Lawton's largest fundraising event of the year. Funds raised in this event are used to support critical programs and essential needs, including arts and science programs, technology licenses, as well as funding for our librarian and recess & lunch monitors. If you are not able to contribute financially, we ask that you still log on to the website and choose “participate only” to register support for your child’s classroom and to be entered in our weekly raffles. This also helps us reach our goal of 100% school wide participation. So far this year we have only reached 44% school wide participation. If you haven’t already done so, we kindly ask that you participate. There will be a special draw for the first

Principal Newsletter, October 30, 2023
Dear Lawton Families, I’m really enjoying popping into our classrooms and learning spaces the last few weeks, and seeing our students excited about what they are learning! From Kindergarten students writing their first stories, first and second graders working in small groups on math practice problems, third graders learning about the life cycle of salmon both in the library and in the classroom, to fourth and fifth graders starting their Wednesday clubs (dance, newspaper, Student Union, & media study), and students in PE & Music learning songs and dances for upcoming school events, the school is abuzz with students driving their learning through their own choices and voice! This year our staff is using our professional development time on Wednesday Early Release afternoons to intentionally develop instruction, assignments and assessments that engage students at all
