New Lawrence Logo!

Have you noticed the new Lawrence Township Public Schools logo?? Don't worry, Hootie is still our mascot at LIS! The new logo, with its tagline "Lead. Achieve. Succeed." represents the entire district. It was unveiled at the January 9 Board of Education meeting. Look for it on district communications.

LIS Winter Concert Series

The LIS Winter Concert Series concludes on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at the LIS auditorium with the performance of the 5th/6th grade Chorus.  The students have been working extremely hard and we have been wowed with some awesome performances by our 4th grade Chorus and our 5th/6th grade Instrumental concert.  Please come out and see our fantastic performers throughout the school year.  Below are some pictures of our students preparing for the concerts.

Community Service in Action

Monday, January 21, is when the nation remembers Martin Luther King, Jr. The MLK Day of Service is part of United We Serve, the President's national call to service initiative. You can check out local service projects or visit the official MLKDay.gov website to register a service project of your own.

Throughout the month of January, the LIS community is participating in two community service projects to benefit HomeFront.

Books donated to the HomeFront book drive

One of our 4th grade students is working with the 6th grade Community Service club to collect gently used books for HomeFront. We collected lots of books already and will be collecting through the end of January.

Donated canned goods in our Library Display Case

Our 6th grade Community Service club is also working on our 5th Annual Souper Bowl of Caring. Students are bringing in canned goods to benefit HomeFront. We will be collecting until February 1, and the donated items will be delivered on Super Bowl weekend.

Character Education Classroom Activities

There are always great character education activities happening in our classrooms everyday.  Today, we had lessons related to conflict resolution, problem solving, team building, and team work.  "There are bumps in the road that we all endure each day of our lives, it is how we respond to these bumps that demonstrates our character."

Mustache Day (January 16)
