8th Grade 2025-2026
Throughout the 2025-2026 school year 8th grade students and their families / caregivers will work to fundraise towards student field trips (8th grade skate, movie night), 8th grade yearbooks, graduation (decorations and reception) and a grade wide graduation party. Every time a student volunteers they earn community service hours.
This year 8th Grade students will attend a once in a “middle schooltime” class trip to NYC. This trip is self-funded directly by our student families/caregivers.
Big Apple Here We Come!
The Lawrence 8th Grade will be taking an overnight trip to NYC on June 11-12th. Students will travel to NYC with their classmates and teachers for an unbelievable two day, one night trip. This trip is self-funded, however financial aid is available for any families who need assistance.
The cost of the trip is $600 per student
A payment of $750 covers one student plus 25% support for another
A payment of $900 covers one student plus 50% support for another
Select “Other” to donate any amount toward making this trip a reality for all students
Every student deserves to take part in this experience, regardless of financial circumstances. If you are in a position to contribute additional financial support, we encourage you to do so. If your family needs full or partial financial support, please reach out to Shaina Martinez — funding is available and all requests are handled with care and confidentiality.
Please pay by Paypal or Check (payable to Lawrence School PTO and delivered to the school)
