On Tuesday, November 12th to Thursday, November 13th, Lawrence Woodmere Academy held the annual Book Fair located on the mezzanine. The Book Fair, organized by board member Ella Schwartz, and run by parent volunteers. The Book Fair gives the students a chance to expand their reading horizons and purchase novels they have been interested in. The organizer of the book fair, Ella Schwartz said, “The Book Fair is a very special time for our students, It’s great watching children get excited about making their own book choices.” 

Last Saturday Lawrence Woodmere Academy held their annual homecoming event and soccer game. The soccer team lost 0-1 at the hands of Staten Island Academy. Although the team lost, John Harrison, an LWA Junior, said, “he felt as if the soccer team played good, it's just a matter of we win some we lose some.” Although LWA lost the game, the great food, cotton candy and events kept spirits high. Not only did LWA students and families enjoy Homecoming, visitor Eden Bouchi from Holy Trinity High School said, “The “3 on 3 basketball game and the food were pretty good, maybe I’ll even come again next year.” Parents, students, family, and friends filled the field of LWA to watch the soccer game, play 3 on 3 basketball, dance to good music (presented by LWA Senior and DJ, Christian Aristizabal) and participate in events like the donut eating contest. LWA homecoming 2019 was successful for all involved.
