Nineteen Lawrenceville Elementary School (LES) 2nd graders will demonstrate their ability as composers and live performers at Young Composer's Night on June 11. Students will present original songs that they wrote completely on iPads using the GarageBand App. The evening will include a slide show and an iPad Band performance using iPad instruments, such as electric guitars, violins, and synthesizers. 

 

LES music teacher Dan Beal, pictured left, is coordinating the event as part of "Jammin' with JamHub," a grant funded by the Lawrence Township Education Foundation (LTEF).

Mostly sophomores and a few juniors and seniors attended one of two iHamlet assemblies yesterday. iHamlet is an adaptation by Robin Malan, a South African playwright, and puts onstage one actor speaking the words of only one character, Hamlet, from Shakespeare's play. LTEF funded the artist-in-residence program intended to enhance the study of Shakespearean literature and drama for English and theater students. The actor who played Hamlet is Melissa Dunphy from The Philadelphia Shakespeare Theatre. Get a glimpse of her dramatic interpretation via video linked in photo. Video is a bit dark but you can get a feel for the wonderful performance. 

The following Lawrence High School (LHS) students had their poetry/prose/artwork selected by a distinguished panel of judges for publication in Aspirations, the literary magazine of Mercer County County College (MCCC):

 

Madalyn Brummer, Klara Bieniasz, Caroline Bohra, Liam Lavelle, Linda Luo, Nadine Mayrena, Jack Pagliante, Kinsey Ratzman, Casey Ryu, and Sebastian Vargas. Linda Luo, a senior in AP Studio Art, had three pieces of artwork, including the cover art below entitled "Liberation," selected for publication.  All published entries were selected from hundreds of entries submitted by Mercer County high school students. Students' pieces were submitted for consideration by LHS teachers Cheryl Eng, Ellen Chepiga, Kathryn Henderson, Erica Ingram and Stefanie Tziarri.

Lawrence High School (LHS) is offering for-credit enrichment and remediation classes this summer for both LTPS and out-of-district students. Classes will run July 6-31, Mondays through Fridays. View the brochure here.
