| Mimi Mayer and Lou Salza: current and future heads of Lawrence! |
||
|
Thanks to those of you who enjoyed coffee and conversation with Lou Salza this week. Lou truly enjoyed meeting all of our parents. Lou also had the opportunity to spend plenty of time with staff, whose first order of business was to teach him the "O-H-I-O" shout from "Hang on Sloopy"! We were all thrilled to host him here at Lawrence for three days this week, and look forward to officially welcoming him as our new head in August! |

Good luck to the Drama Club on their performance of Private Lives this weekend! Tonight's performance is nearly sold-out, and tickets are selling well for Saturday. Shows start at 8 pm in the Upper School Theatre. As Lower School students leave for Spring Break, review packets will be sent home. Completion is not a requirement, but will help students review and reinforce concepts over break. |
