Lawrence School 8th Grade 2025-2026
Welcome to the official Lawrence School 8th grade webpage! On this page you will find details for the NYC trip on June 11-12th as well as information about upcoming fundraising opportunities and a summary of our fundraising so far!
Throughout the 2025-2026 school year 8th grade students and their families / caregivers coordinate and volunteer at fundraising events. The money raised at these events go towards funding fun experiences and swag throughout the 2025-2026 8th grade year. These experiences include student field trips (8th grade skate, movie night), hoodies, 8th grade yearbooks, graduation (decorations and reception) and a grade wide graduation party. We hope every 8th grade student and family / caregiver participates in our fundraising events! The once in a “middle schooltime” class trip to NYC in June is self-funded directly by our student families / caregivers.
