Lawrence Brook Elementary School Monthly Event Calendar

East Brunswick Public Schools One-Page Calendar

World Cup Assembly

Students enjoyed an exciting World Cup Kick Off Assembly! Over the next few weeks, students in Kindergarten through Fourth Grade will participate in district-wide social studies lessons inspired by the World Cup in order to learn about sports, history, geography, languages, and other countries.

Free Academic Support through the Public Library

Did you know the East Brunswick Public Library offers you a variety of academic support programs free with your library card? Visit https://ilove.ebpl.org/kids to access Lumos Learning (Math and English activities), Tutor.com (live tutoring support) and much more.

Cold Weather Reminder

Students benefit from spending time outdoors being active! As long as the conditions on the playground are safe and the wind-chill temperature is above freezing, we will have outdoor recess. Please send students to school with the appropriate outerwear so they can enjoy their time outside. Also, don't forget to label your child's belongings in case they are misplaced.

PTA Events, Committees, and Fundraisers
