School Volunteers
Lawrence schools enjoy the support of hundreds of parent and community volunteers.
The Lawrence Public Schools annually recognize outstanding school volunteers
during American Education Week. Each school and the school district selects
a Friend of Education to honor. Our "Friends" represent all of the wonderful
school volunteers who support our students and staff throughout the school year.
We appreciate your involvement!
