One current and five former Lawrence High School (LHS) students from Boy Scout Troop 27 attended a Court of Honor on May 21 for earning the rank of Eagle Scout. The boys organized and completed individual service projects in the community, as well as served in leadership roles in the troop.
LHS graduate Sujay Shetty, freshman at the University of Michigan, renovated and repaired a damaged classroom in the ECV community center. Nick Diefenbach, freshman at Johnson and Wales University, designed and constructed an enclosure with 3 platforms for beehives at the Lawrence Nature Center. Dorian Armstrong, freshman at TCNJ, oversaw the demolition of an old shed and the construction of a new one at the Lawrence Nature Center. Jake Verga, freshman at Arcadia University, constructed a shed and ramp in Central Park for the Little League to store equipment. John Waaben, freshman at American University, planned and created Memorial Tree Park in Maidenhead Meadows by planting Dawn Redwood trees and constructing benches along a section of the Lawrence-Hopewell Trail. Ben Reitz, LHS senior attending Stevenson University in the fall, continued the Memorial Tree Park by raising money and planting more trees. The extra money he raised was donated to the Lawrence Nature Center for a new telescope.
LTPS staff members Sean Carney, Jeff Verga and Sue Diefenbach were also presented with mentor pins at the ceremony. |

LMS 101 - attend evening meetings from the comfort of your home
Lawrence Middle School (LMS) recently presented its annual Middle School 101 evening, which is a specially designed program for parents of rising 7th graders.
Principal Mindy Milavsky, along with supervisors Dr. Mary Dillon, Heidi Rosen and Yvette Panosowich, discussed with parents the programs, curriculum, and unique opportunities for students at LMS.
New this year was the option of watching the presentation at home on LTPS-TV (available through Comcast Channel 19 or Verizon Channel 37). The new format was added to include parents who otherwise may not have been able to attend. The recorded presentation is also available here. Due to overwhelmingly positive feedback, we look forward to offering more evening events through LTPS-TV. |
