Right now, there are charitable events going on at LIS:
- Our Student Council is collecting unwanted stuffed animals to support Glad Dogs Nation. From their website: "Our adorable handcrafted dog toys start out as unwanted children’s stuffed toys. We wash them in hot water using biodegradable detergent. We remove hard eyes and put cute appliques in their place. We replace the hard noses with colorful pompoms. And we always add at least one squeaker inside. Then we offer the toys at a price below what you’d pay in a pet store – so no one needs to shed a tear if the toy is destroyed during play." They make catnip toys, too! This collection has begun and will end on February 13.
- Hootie's Helpers (6th grade Community Service club) are collecting canned goods for the Souper Bowl of Caring. Please bring non-perishable food items to school before January 31. The collection will be donated directly to the Lawrence Community Center to help our neighbors in need.
