🚀 The Final Push to 95%!
We are so close to hitting our district-wide goal. Check out where we stand as of today:
💡 Why that 0.7% matters:
Reaching 95% isn't just a number on a spreadsheet; it represents hundreds of extra hours of collaboration, hands-on learning, and shared memories. When you are here, the energy in our hallways changes for the better.
🌟 How we get there:
The "One More Day" Mindset: If you're feeling that mid-term fatigue, just focus on winning the day.
Support Your Circle: Encourage your friends and classmates. We reach this milestone as a team, or not at all!
Celebrate the Streak: Let’s see which building can be the first to cross the 95% line this month!
Let’s make it happen. See you tomorrow!

Agriculture Learning Lab - No Tax Rate Increase Bond
As we continue conversations with our community about the upcoming bond issue to construct a new Agriculture Learning Lab, we know many people have questions about the project, its need, and how it would benefit our students.
To provide clear information, we’ve put together a Frequently Asked Questions document that explains the facility's purpose, how it supports hands-on learning opportunities for our students, and the components of a No Tax Rate Increase Bond Issue.
We encourage everyone to take a few minutes to review the information and learn more about our district's vision for expanding agricultural education.

Let There Be Light…
We are super excited to share photos of the upgraded lighting and pole replacement project at the district's Cardinal Baseball Stadium! This improvement has been on our wish list for many, many years.
Following the assistance of Mother Nature with a couple of lightning strikes in the spring of 2025, and through the strategic use of investment dollars generated from the sound management of our No Tax Rate Increase Bond funds from the April 2024 campaign, we are thrilled to show off the results.
We can’t wait to see these lights in action and look forward to an exciting Lawson Cardinals baseball season! #WeAreLawson
