SAFE HALLOWEEN AT LHS

LHS National Honor Society is proud to hold its Annual Spooktastic Safe Halloween event on Thursday October 26th 2023 from 5-7 pm at Lawrence High School. It only costs $5 per family!

If your child is participating in Halloween here are some things we would like you to know. Halloween is around the corner and our hopes are for everyone to be safe and make smart choices. Although this is a fun time for children to go trick or treating, our main concern is safety. Please keep in mind the concerns of allergies, and to take precaution when the children stop door to door. We ask everyone to be aware of their surroundings, but most importantly HAVE FUN!

• Carry glow sticks or flashlights, use reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags, and wear light colors to help children see and be seen by drivers.

• Join children under age 12 for trick-or-treating.

• Slow down and be alert, with your surroundings!

• Remind children to cross the street at corners or crosswalks.

LAWRENCE STANDS TOGETHER - DIVERSE, STRONG AND PROUD

We want our Lawrence Families to know that we have resources available from the national center traumatic stress network (NCTSN). We support our community and show so much love in this time of need.
