Direct Drive Fundraiser – 2022-2023
The Direct Drive is a way for all members of the Lawton community to come together and show our support for the students, teachers, staff, and families of our school.
The Direct Drive is our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year, and we encourage all families to participate. While financial donations are greatly appreciated, they are not required for participation. 100% of any donations go directly towards funding the PTA budget for the school year. See below for additional information regarding the important programs and needs funded by the budget.
Principal Newsletter – October 14, 2022
Partnerships among Lawton, our families, and greater Magnolia add to our overall sense belonging and community. In some instances, students are the recipients of community gifts – the grandma who visited Ms. McDonagh’s class to read aloud this week, the 5th grade camp scholarships provided by Lawton families, and the back-to-school clothing gift cards we were able to provide through partnerships with the Alliance for Education and Operation School Bell. Other times, Lawton students and staff share their gifts with others – Ms. Leache’s class artwork on display at the Magnolia library through the end of the month and some third graders serving as reading buddies with Kindergarteners. These are just a few examples of the richness of our community

Halloween Guidance
Costumes
We’re hearing chatter in the hallways about what students want to dress up as for Halloween. As those of you who choose to celebrate this holiday prepare, please remember that not all costumes are school-friendly. We want to make sure our school is a safe and welcoming place for everyone. Your student’s teacher will share any plans for classroom celebrations directly with you. Students wishing to wear a costume at school on Halloween need to have a costume that follows these guidelines:
- No masks. Student faces must be visible and identifiable.
- No face paint.
No School on Friday 10/14!
This is a reminder there will be no school for students on Friday for Teacher In-Service Day.
This is the statewide training day for all public school educators. Teachers, administrators, and school support staff will spend this time working together to support student success.
School will resume on Monday.
Visit our online district calendar to view upcoming school year dates.
