June 7: Spring Picnic and Retirement Reception

Join us on June 7 for the Spring Picnic! It's a great chance to see everyone before school lets out. Volunteers are needed to help set up, clean up, and oversee the food tables, and of course we'll need plenty of cakes for the cake walk! Please contact Nancy Gerber if you can help.
    A reception honoring retiring Librarian Rusty Browder will precede the picnic at 5 pm (rain or shine!). Please join us in the library.

Summer Camp Is Around the Corner—Order Personalized Sticky Labels and Help the PTO!

The display on the lobby board lets you see these labels for yourself. They truly stick to EVERYTHING and STAY on all surfaces, The items on display have Mabel's Sticky Labels that have been through multiple dishwasher, microwave and laundry cycles. Mabel's Labels are perfect for clothing, backpacks, food containers, water bottles, sports equipment (swim goggles!), shoes/boots and school supplies. The Lawrence PTO gets 20% back from of every purchase of non-sale items made online at www.lawrence.mabelslabels.com (purchases MUST be made through this URL to qualify for the 20% rebate--sales made over the phone, loot bag combos and discounted/sale items do not qualify). Questions? Contact Barb Hausman. 
Looking for after-school art classes, babysitters, sports opportunities, vacation/summer camps? Check out our Online Bulletin Board.
