MAY 2018
Dear Lawrence Township Faculty & Community Members: May has been a month of celebrations. I have had the privilege of attending numerous events over the past month and a half recognizing the many accomplishments of students across the district, namely our seniors. The ongoing support I have seen from parents and staff that has led our students to this point in their academic careers is incredible. Here are a few achievements of members of the Class of 2018: Follow Dr. Smith on Twitter

These students were also honored at two annual banquets, where they brought their family as well as their identified Honored Educator. Reflections shared by students to their teachers elicited both laughter and tears. Their words further affirmed the difference that teachers make in the lives of students.
