Another Southwest Elementary Bond Project Reaches the Finish Line!
We’re excited to announce the completion of the installation of brand new lockers in our 3rd and 4th-grade hallway!
These new lockers will free up classroom space, giving students more room for learning and collaboration. They also provide a small but meaningful step in preparing students to transition to middle school.
This project was made possible by the incredible support of our community through the passing of the April 2024 Bond. Thank you for investing in the future of our students! #WeAreLawson

12,000 Miles. 11 Days. 3 Countries. Countless Memories. 🌍✈️
Our group of incredible high school students, parents, grandparents, and chaperones has returned from the adventure of a lifetime through England, France, and Italy as part of an unforgettable EF Tours educational travel experience!
🇬🇧 In London, they explored world-famous landmarks, including Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the London Eye.
🚄 Then, they boarded the Eurostar and traveled beneath the English Channel to France, where they took in the beauty and history of Paris — from the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame Cathedral to the Champs-Élysées and King Louis XIV’s Palace of Versailles.
🇮🇹 In Italy, the journey continued through Rome, the ancient ruins of Pompeii, the stunning art of the Vatican, and even a boat cruise around the breathtaking Island of Capri.
This incredible experience allowed students to see classroom history come alive, engage with different cultures, and make memories they’ll never forget. 🌟
A huge thank you to our chaperones, EF Tours, and parents for supporting opportunities that expand our students' horizons through real-world experience.

🏋️♂️ Middle School Weight Room Construction Has Begun! 🚧
We’re turning something old into something new! Construction is officially underway to transform the former stage area in the middle school gym into a brand-new weight room for our students.
💪 This exciting project gives our middle schoolers a dedicated space to build strength, confidence, and healthy habits using weight equipment generously donated to the district last August.
The No Tax Increase Bond passed in April 2024 made this renovation possible. It’s just one more way our community is investing in student wellness and opportunity.
