About Earl M. Lawson Elementary School

For the 2009-2010 school year, Lawson Elementary School will welcome David Brewer Pre-Kindergartners, Kindergartners, and 1st graders.  The Earl M. Lawson Elementary School is a place where learning is a priority. 

Not only is our academic life important at Lawson Elementary School, but we take our students’ health very seriously. We participate in a mobile dentistry program in which a dentist comes to the school four times a year. We also participate in the District’s vitamin and preventative dental health program.

Our parents are also very supportive of our school. Parents Involved in Education (PIE), has funneled both volunteers and money into the school’s academic life. High parental involvement in Earl M. Lawson Elementary School committees, social and academic programs, and their annual monetary support to the Leavenworth Public Schools Education Foundation has marked this group of parents as committed, informed and dedicated to excellence in education. The cooperative learning environment at school is reinforced by the excellent home and school relations enjoyed at our school.

A strength of the Earl M. Lawson system is the employment of a full-time home/school coordinator who serves as a liaison between the school and the community.  A Businesspersons' Breakfast has been held each year in appreciation of the support given by neighborhood businesses and social organizations.
