LIS Cares!


Students and staff are always wondering what they can do for others. Right now, there are several charitable events going on at LIS:

Souper Bowl of Caring
     On Sunday, February 5th, 140 million Americans will tune into the Super Bowl football game. There will be food and fun for many people watching the game. At the same time, there will be Lawrence  families struggling to feed their kids for the day.
     This year, our school will join groups across America to do our part! Please bring non-perishable food items to school before February 3. The collection will be donated directly to the  Lawrence Community Center to help our neighbors in need.
     Did you know? To date, LIS families have donated over 1000 cans of food! That's Souper!!

Book Drive
     Ms. Steiner’s 4th grade class is having a book drive to benefit HomeFront.  They will collect gently used and new books for children ages 3-12 to donate to HomeFront for Valentine’s Day, where they will be used in waiting rooms and at HomeFront’s main location for people to take for their children.  Student representatives began collecting books during lunch periods on January 12-13.  A collection box will be in the main office through February 10.

Collection for SAVE
     Next week, Student Council will be collecting spare change at lunches for SAVE. SAVE is an independent non-profit animal shelter dedicated to protecting the health and welfare of homeless companion animals in the Princeton area. A paw print with the student's name on it will be displayed in the hallway outside the library for each student who donates 50 cents (or more) towards this great cause.
