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
