Luo receives Wellesley College Book Award

Each year, Wellesley College honors a female student in the junior class at Lawrence High School (LHS) whose academic record and character are exceptional and who has also made significant personal contributions to her school and/or community. The Norton Book of Women's Lives, a collection of twentieth century women's literature---autobiographies, journals, and memoirs---is the award provided. The Wellesley edition is a blue linen-covered publication with the Wellesley seal embossed in gold and a bookplate inscribed with the student's name on a special tipped-in page. This year's recipient is Linda Luo, pictured here with her nominating guidance counselor, Christian D'Angelo.

LIS musicians perform at Honors Band Festival

Eight Lawrence Intermediate School (LIS) students went to the Rahway 7th & 8th Grade Academy on April 12 to participate in a one-day Honors Band Festival. Allison Kershner, LIS band and orchestra director, nominated them initially based on their performance in the LIS Concert Band.

 

Festival organizers selected students from those nominated and placed them into one of three bands: the "Red Band," the "White Band," and the "Blue Band." Students received acceptance letters and music a few weeks before the festival so they had time to practice.

 

On the day of the festival, students were placed in ensembles of up to 100 performers from around Central New Jersey to rehearse together and then perform in a concert at the end of the day. Additionally, festival organizers tapped Mrs. Kershner to conduct the White Band.

 

LIS participating student musicians are:

 

Red Band

Kaitlyn Malyszka - Bass Clarinet

Dylan Morris - Tenor Saxophone

 

White Band

Kellen Conway - Clarinet

Shiamak Kalwachwala - Trombone

Justin Knab - Baritone

Joelle D'Angelo - Tuba

Will Yuchmow - Percussion

 

Blue Band

Kiran Hiremath - Flute
