R E S P E C T - find out what it means to LES!
Annually the NJ Department of Education designates a week towards the beginning of October as a "Week of Respect." Our schools observe this week in various ways.
 The Week of Respect's culminating activity at Lawrenceville Elementary School (LES) was a parade of respectful super heroes with kindergarteners wearing t-shirt necklaces, first graders sporting belts, second graders zooming with capes, and third graders carrying shields all decorated with respectful words, pictures and slogans.
