Lawton Families,
I feel like you’re hearing from me every day – but it is time for my bi-weekly message! Thanks for supporting your children during remote learning last week – it’s a challenge, but we like to keep students learning as much as possible, and it saves us from adding days to the end of the year!

Lawton Families,
It was so fun to see so many families in the building this week at our PTA Bingo Night and Lawton Book Fair! Events like these really support a sense of community and reinforce our love for learning and for play at Lawton, and we appreciate the all hard work that our PTA and staff (shout out to Ms. Gallegos!) give to make our school events possible!
On that note – as we are at the mid-year mark, I have created a really short Family Engagement and Feedback survey that I would love you to click on and fill out. I will share the anonymous responses with our Building Leadership Team, PTA and staff in February so
