Our December "Board Spotlight" was on 3 great school partners the Lawson VFW Post 6278, the Lawson VFW Auxiliary, and the Lawson Assembly of God Church. These 3 groups helped support the students and families of the community by donating over $1400 to pay off outstanding lunch balances and ensure students are on solid ground as they return for the 2nd semester of school. We thank each of them for their unwavering support of the Lawson school community. #WeAreLawson

HS Wrestling Update
The Lawson girls traveled to Excelsior Springs for their open scramble last Friday. This was a great opportunity for some of our wrestlers to compete against Nationally ranked wrestlers. This tournament does not keep a team score, seeing that they put athletes in pools ranked by ability.
Lawson JV also competed at Excelsior Springs this Saturday. We were able to get some great matches in and learn a lot. Though this is a JV tournament, there were some large schools that brought good JV teams.
Up next, both of our Varsity Teams will travel to Sedalia for the Battle of the Katy Trail this coming Friday, 12/16, and Saturday12/17. Start Time Friday is @ 11:00 am and Saturday @ 9:00 am.
