Homecoming, college, events, oh my!

Are you ready for some football? With Homecoming just around the corner everything is full steam ahead! With Lawrence’s Senior Class Government kicking off the month of October with Breast Cancer Awareness Pins and donuts.

Along with Senior Class, SGA is super excited for Blue, Gold and White Day! This year SGA wants to focus on the idea of bringing together the classes of 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026.

This event will take place during spirit week to ensure the uplifting of spirit before homecoming. It is safe to say that we are truly “All In This Together.”

We are excited to see what our football team has in store for Homecoming, Oct. 29, 2022, under the direction of head football coach Patrick Palleschi and captains Jackson Mondesir, Jah-King King, Kody Kirchner, and Zaire Garraway.

“We don’t give up easily, we try our best each and every time we step out on the field to fulfill the legacy that Lawrence has kept all of these years,” Mondesir said, “down to the coaches and even some of the parents.”

As September ended and October began not only is the season changing but also so are the mindsets of Lawrence’s seniors.

The idea of college is taking a toll on the seniors due to college application deadlines, FAFSA, college tours, etc, but the process has become seemingly effortless with the help of guidance counselors; Jaclyn Liebowitz, Brian Donaghy, Jon Diamond, Karen Staller, Stephanie Paz and even our 12th grade assistant principal, Andrew Schiavo.

In the last two weeks the staff of Lawrence High School had made it possible for Hofstra University and Molly University to visit our amazing campus.

I am proud to say that this year it has become apparent that going to college isn’t the only way to succeed and I feel that the teachers and staff communicate that well.

Along with seasonal changes comes holidays. Lawrence’s annual Safe Trick or Treat is coming up, Oct. 26. All students are welcome to volunteer their time decorating rooms, running candy, getting dressed up, etc.

Community service has become a tradition of Lawrence High and an importance of Gammy’s Pantry located at the Five Towns Community Center. Gammy’s Pantry will be hosting its annual Trunk or Treat and Fall Festival at the end October as well. This is just a very exciting time for Lawrence overall!
