| Head Notes |

The fourth core area that the management team and I have identified as critical to the continued health of Lawrence School is building and strengthening awareness and relationships within the community. With increased capacity to serve, we want to assure that families who need our school know about it. To that end, we are working with organizations who share our goals. We are thrilled to provide workshops which allow us to share some of the transferable techniques we have refined. Although we have the benefit of small classes at Lawrence, many of our teaching practices can also improve the success of students at any school, in any setting. We also want the community to see how bright and productive our students can be, just as we all experience every day. I hope you have seen Lawrence featured in inserts in Cleveland magazine, Cleveland/Akron Family magazine, Currents and others. Also, you will soon receive an invitation to a very special evening celebrating the creativity of students with learning disabilities, in conjunction with the Cleveland Institute of Art and the Barcelona Exhibit at the Cleveland Art Museum. This will provide a wonderful opportunity for us all to share the magic of Lawrence with a wider audience. Although this is a very busy year at Lawrence, we are happy to tell our story to others and hope that you will tell YOUR Lawrence story, too. - Mimi Mayer
