PTO Events

The Lawrence PTO hosts events to promote community building and student enrichment throughout the year. Tickets and purchases at some of these events also raise critical funds for classroom support and other PTO-funded initiatives. Helping to plan or run events is a great way to meet other parents and caregivers at Lawrence!
