The varsity boys basketball team will be visiting Lawson to read to some classes. Coach Frick thought that it would be fun for the boys to go back to their elementary school to read to kids and see former teachers. Please let me know if you are interested in a reader on Wednesday, January 12 from 2:00-2:25. We can expect 6 readers.

January 12th - Lawson 2:00-2:25 6 signed up (requested so far: Ault, Sesker, Easter, Olson, Weite, Kosmicki)

Students should not bring treats to share for their birthdays. They can bring in something tangible to share (pencils, stickers, trinket, etc.). We decided at the beginning of the school year to refrain from bringing in snacks or treats that can be eaten.

Thanks for adhering to this standard so we are all doing the same thing in terms of birthday treats at Lawson.
