Attendees will visit ten plus rooms of different, interactive gaming experiences coordinated by LHS STEM Academy students.

Seeing Eye Dog Trainees Visit LIS

Fourth grade students at Lawrence Intermediate School (LIS) recently attended a morning assembly on the Seeing Eye dog program. Molly Granahan (LMS 8th grader and LIS graduate) is training a dog that she hopes will graduate from the program. Her brother, Jack, is a 4th grader at LIS. If Molly's dog Wren is successful, she will leave the Granahan family in about a year to become a certified Seeing Eye dog.
