What a fun week we had in Pre-K! As summer approaches we did directed drawings of watermelons and ice cream trucks! We also engaged in water play and practiced reading with a friend. Kindergarten here we come!




Our Pre-K children are learning all about oceans this week. Classrooms 3 and 4 are creating oceans in a bottle and sculpting ocean animals out of Play-Doh.


Dear Lawrence Students and Staff,
NYS Governor’s office and the DOH have aligned guidance to schools with the CDC. Masks OUTDOORS on school grounds do NOT need to be worn. The option to wear a mask OUTDOORS is a choice. Indoors, masks must be worn. Teachers and staff will direct mask breaks in alignment with our reopening plan.
Our reopening committee met quickly this morning to confirm the newest guidance.
NO MASKS OUTDOORS ONLY
Thank you for you cooperation and support of one another.
Dr. Pedersen

Today was a wonderful day to celebrate our Pre-K students who are moving up to Kindergarten!
