A little fall fun makes for a memorable school day! 🎃👻 After a full day of learning, our students took a short break from the classroom on this 70 degree day to show off their fall costumes in parades filled with smiles and many proud parents cheering them on. And we have to give a special shout-out to our staff, who get just as into the Halloween spirit as the students do!

At LTPS, learning is always at the heart of what we do, but we also know that sometimes it's the little moments, the traditions, and the chance to celebrate together that make lasting memories for our students and families. What a fun day across the district!

Last Friday, LMS young musicians along with the LMS band director - Mr. Kilgore were invited to participate in a combined LMS music and LHS marching band night. The LMS students performed the “Star Spangled Banner” along with the current LHS marching band at the start of the football game. They also performed various stand tunes during the football game. Approximately twenty LMS music students and their parents came to LHS before the game to learn about the program.

The current LHS marching band student leadership team gave a presentation to the middle school students and families about the marching band experience. They shared about each of the sections and why they are the best section of the band. The LHS marching band team is under the direction of Mr. Thomas Monsport (LTPS alumni) - Marching band director, Mrs. Melissa Clark (LIS music teacher) - Assistant Marching Band Director, Mrs. Andrea Meyer (LHS science teacher) - color guard director and Ms. Alison Polsky - drill and color guard director.

We hope to see many of these LMS students perform with the LHS marching band in the spring for the memorial day parade and next fall for the marching band season.

If there are any LMS 8th graders or LHS students interested in marching band for next Fall 2027 please reach out to Mr. Monsport ([email protected]) for more information.

Our English as a Second Language (ESL) team recently welcomed educators visiting from Taiwan for a presentation on how Lawrence Township Public Schools supports and educates our multilingual learners. Jennifer Acuna, Sabrina Casale, Katie Kochis, Hailey Lippincott, Kasia Semeniuk and Leah Urizar shared instructional strategies and hands-on learning experiences that our visiting educators could take back to Taiwan and share with their colleagues.

At LTPS, we’re proud to share our knowledge, learn from others, and collaborate with educators around the world. We believe great teaching grows when we share ideas and learn from one another!

Yesterday, Slackwood Elementary School's third graders welcomed Princeton University’s Molecular Biology Outreach Program (MBOP) back for a second year of hands-on learning! Graduate students guided our young scientists step by step as they learned about DNA and extracted it from pumpkin pulp.

The best part? Students even got to take home strands of pumpkin DNA in tiny necklaces they can wear! What a fun way to explore the science behind the spooky season! 🧪🧡

Today, we celebrate our occupational therapists who help LTPS students build the skills, confidence, and independence they need to participate and thrive in school and beyond. From developing fine motor skills to supporting sensory needs and everyday tasks, their work makes a meaningful difference in our students’ lives.

During PE classes at Ben Franklin, students worked with Mrs. Cimorelli and Mr. Yates to practice their locomotor movements in a memory-match skeleton run! Students used skills like running, skipping and galloping to collect skeleton bones and transport them to their team’s building area. The activity strengthened movement, body control, coordination and teamwork while helping students learn about the human skeleton.

The fun continued in Ms. Skorupa’s art classes, where students painted skeletons while identifying and locating the bones of the body. This creative, collaborative activity reinforced connections to their PE lesson while giving students another opportunity to practice teamwork and have fun! 🧟‍♂️
