May Board Spotlights:
The first board spotlight was to recognize the hard work and dedication of our two registered nurses, Tina Murdock and Melinda Grimpo. Not only do these two ladies help many of our students each day, but they recently applied for and received a feminine product grant through the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for approximately $713.
This grant provides these products for all Lawson middle school and high school girls’ restrooms, and gives students and patrons access to these items at no cost.
We greatly appreciate all that these two ladies do to help the well-being and health of all our students!
Next, the board recognized the Robotics team for all their hard work and success this year. Members of the team along with sponsor, Mr. Rodney Foster, were present to talk about their experience at the FRC Worlds Competition they recently attended in Houston, Texas. The competition was that consisting of over 400 teams from around the world. We are so proud of their hard work and accomplishments!
Congratulations to all!
The Staff Wellness Committee wrapped up their spring challenge by awarding the winners today! Shown below are the team winners, The Kindergarten teachers at Southwest! A special thank you to our community sponsors! #WeAreLawson
