Football Week 1 Teacher of the Week
Each week during our football season, the senior football players are going to pick a Lawson School District Teacher/Staff member to recognize. The seniors were tasked with choosing someone who has made a positive impact on their lives. For week 1, the seniors chose Coach Ryan Burton as the Teacher/Staff Member of the Week! The seniors recognized Coach Burton for his consummate positivity and how he always asks them how their day is going when he sees them in the hallways. Senior Chase Jones shared how much of an impact Coach Burton had on him and others when they attended Young Life Camp this past summer. The Lawson Cardinal Football Program is proud to acknowledge Coach Burton for making a positive impact on our students! #WeAreLawson
Cooper's "Mobile Nest" received a makeover today. #WeAreLawson
Today's softball jamboree has been canceled due to recent heavy rain and unplayable fields in Higginsville.
Lawson School District Receives a $250,000 Weight Equipment Donation from Snap Fitness in St. Joseph, MO.
With the assistance of LHS Alumni Tanner Stark, Coach Crawford was instrumental in organizing a significant donation to the Lawson School District. The donation was made possible based on an agreement between Snap Fitness and the School District to provide a written tax receipt acknowledging the donation and the understanding that the district would be responsible for loading and hauling all the equipment. The mass amount of equipment we obtained for no cost was valued between $250,000 and $300,000 new.
The equipment is all in safe working order and of the highest quality, and Lawson's color scheme is even included. The opportunity was something we could have never dreamed of. Coach Crawford and ten trailers, drivers, and a bobcat with forks made their way to St. Joseph on the morning of August 3rd. After 3 hours of hard work, the assembles team had the gym cleared out and were headed back to Lawson. Without the help of several assistant coaches Daniel Nutter, Mitchell Morrow, Todd Dunn, Dan Dreesen, Nate Robison, Dustin Sullard, alumni Tara Crawford and Tanner Stark, and parents Travis Bennett and Rick Vosika, the day would not have been possible. Their selfless volunteerism on August 3rd was vital to Lawson receiving this unheard-of gift.
The gifted equipment has allowed us to move our weights program forward by decades. It has also allowed the district to begin planning a designated middle school weight training program and a room with safe machine-oriented equipment. Again, we thank Snap Fitness for their charitable donation and the Lawson volunteer group for making this possible. The donation has saved the School District tens of thousands of dollars in equipment upgrades, and doing so is truly a blessing.
The Lady Cardinals Softball team opens the season this Saturday at the Lafayette Co Jamboree. in Fairgrounds Park at 10 AM. The schedule is: Game 1 vs. Odessa (Field 3), Game 2 vs. Higginsville (Field 1), and Game 3 vs. Knob Noster (Field 3).
