| Ryan Tucker reads to students |
||
|
Many thanks to Cleveland Browns offensive lineman Ryan Tucker, who visited Lower School students on Tuesday, 10/17 to talk about the importance of reading. Students enjoyed asking Mr. Tucker many, many questions, such as, "How much do you weigh?" and "Who is your best friend on the Browns?" One student even said, "Tell Charlie Frye I said hello!" If students would like to hear more Browns players read their favorite books, please log on to www.clevelandbrowns.com and follow the 'Community' link. Look for the "Read with the Browns" section half way down the page. Students can hear books read by players like Andre Davis and Charlie Frye! |

We were recently delighted to welcome Lower School grandparents as they joined their grandchildren for the beginning of the school day. Our students were so proud to share their original poems and introduce some of the other most important people in their lives - friends and teachers - to their grandparents. Over 110 grandparents joined us, and we look forward to meeting even more of you next year. Lower School students have just issued another group of invitations - this time to our own Board of Trustees - to be their guests for a morning of fun and instruction next Tuesday. We will also look forward to welcoming the Board to the Upper School during the second semester. We love to open our doors to guests, and during any week we welcome college students who are training to be teachers, doctors who are training to be pediatricians and psychologists, visitors who are anxious to learn more about out techniques, and guests who are invited to enhance classroom lessons with their expertise. What I hear from ALL our visitors is that they can sense the warmth, enthusiasm and caring at Lawrence. Thank you for the part you all play in making these visits memorable. - Mimi Mayer
