Labradors – you have outdone yourself once again! Thanks to your hard work and dedication to fundraising, we have raised well over our $30,000 goal – and we are still going! You have earned all of our school-wide prizes – including a special all-school assembly! Are you up for a challenge?!? Can we hit $50,000? If we can, we will have a SUPRISE whole school prize that includes fun, treats, and extra prep time for your teachers!

We know that many of you are still working on collecting donations. Please be sure your sponsors have submitted their in-person and/or online donations by Friday, September 22nd at 12:00 noon to qualify for prizes. How to check your prize status:
- Log in to your Family Pledgestar account
- Scroll down to ‘Progress” and click the arrow on the right. This will let you know how much you’ve raised so far! (Good job!)
- Have you made it to the $50, $100, $250 or $500 mark? There’s still time if you’d like to hit your goals! Click the arrow to the right of “Prizes” to learn more. Don’t forget – our prizes are cumulative – earn one or earn them all!

We will announce all prize winners in our Lawrence Community FB group on or before Monday, September 25. Winners will also be notified by email, as listed in Pledgestar.

Our event would not have been as magnificent if it weren’t for our fabulous volunteer community. Sincere thanks to the friends and family members who donated their time and energy throughout this process. Whether you helped with set-up, clean-up, decorating shirts, helping with Pledgestar, making copies, scanning codes, and everything in between – we couldn’t have done this without YOU! You totally rock!

Come support the San Jose Earthquakes in their last regular season home match. Quakes will be facing off against Austin FC on Oct 21st at 6pm. Use this link to purchase tickets to the match and sit with Lawrence Elementary students and families! https://fevo.me/3PsFdVV

A portion of ticket proceeds will go back to Lawrence Elementary as a fundraiser for our fourth-grade field trip fund!

Did you know? That photo is of JT Marcinkowski, goalkeeper for the Quakes! He also happens to be the brother of our very own fourth-grade teacher, Miss Marcinkowski!
