2026-2027 Annual Appeal

Help make more possible for every Lawrence student.

The PTO invests approximately $200 per student each year in learning, enrichment, and community. The Annual Appeal is one of our largest sources of funding, and your gift helps make this support possible.

Help us reach $50,000 for Lawrence.

Together, we can provide classroom resources, enriching experiences, and a stronger school community. Our goal is 100% family participation, with gifts of any amount welcome.

Give to the Annual Appeal

Every family. Every gift. Every amount makes a difference.

Your gift can do so much:

Gifts of every size make a difference. Here’s what your support can help fund:

  • $200 covers approximately one student’s annual PTO support. Give in honor of your child!

  • $400 extends that support to two students. Give in honor of your child plus another Lawrence student.

  • $600 can provide classroom supplies for a new teacher or a collection of library books from diverse authors.

  • $1,200 can provide a school-wide math resource license, field-trip buses for one grade, or one year of aquarium maintenance.

  • $2,500 can fund two visiting performing-artist presentations or subsidize 40% of the 7th-grade Farm School trip.

  • Any amount helps make more possible for Lawrence students.
