Welcome to Summer! We'd love to post some at-home ideas for you and your Sea Lion.

This summer is all about trying new things, making happy memories, spending time together, and having fun away from screens.

Here is our first week's installment. Enjoy!

HAVE AN OUTDOOR PICNIC

"Bear Hunt" Teddy Bear Picnic: Have your preschooler bring along their favorite stuffed animal. Before eating, hide the stuffed animals around the picnic area (behind a tree, under a bench) and go on a "bear hunt" to find them.
Red Light, Green Light: A classic game that is perfect for burning off energy in a big grassy field before sitting down to eat.
Cloud Shaping: Lay flat on your backs on the picnic blanket, look up at the sky, and take turns pointing out what shapes, animals, or objects the clouds look like. This is great for vocabulary building and imagination.

Happy School Nurses Day! We absolutely love and appreciate you Nurse Beaverson! Thank you for your kind heart and warm care for our students at Lawson. We couldn't do it without you.

Last week we were thrilled to celebrate our Bus Drivers here at Lawson. We are so grateful for their care and love for our wonderful students! We couldn't do it without them.

“I started thinking, ‘What do I want to do with the rest of my life now that I’m out of the military? What is purposeful and impactful to me?’ And so I looked at education.”

Jessica Piecek is the 2026 Teacher of the Year for Lawson Early Childhood School. She teaches bilingual pre-K head start, and she has worked as an educator for 4 years.

We can do this, Sea Lions! Every Tuesday in April and May is "No Tardies Tuesday"! Pre-K and Head Start drop off is 7:25. ECSE is 7:15 and 11:35. We'll see you then! Can't wait!

Thank you Sea Lions for your participation in the HEB plastic Bag Challenge. Last year we were able to raise over 4,000 bags. THIS year you all outshined our number with 8,003 BAGS!!!!!!

Thank you to all who donated. HEB will, in return, give us a gift card of $250 that we will use for our Teacher Appreciation Week in May. So grateful and thankful.

Lawson had an amazing presentation today with our Bubble Squad! The students were in awe of the science behind bubbles and predicted what might happen if various wands, solutions, and materials were used in order to make bubbles.

We have the BEST staff at Lawson! We're so excited to announce that these two ladies are representing our school with this well deserved honor. Congratulations Jessica Piecek and Stacie Doss!

We had the best on-campus field trip to the blue pod this week for a exciting sing-a-long. We loved singing songs together and learning about various instruments. #wearemckinneyisd

Enjoy this time with family and friends. See you in December!

October was principal's month and, as you know, we have the BEST! Thank you for all that you do Mrs. Towber!

This fall weather is making our outdoor classroom the place to be. We are also enjoying all things pumpkins! Have a great week!

School Holiday coming up! Fall Break Oct 13-17.

October has already been a busy month, celebrating some of the most important people on our staff here at Lawson! We loved spoiling Lupita and Maria with breakfast and lunch on October 2nd to show them how much we appreciate their hard work and effort into Lawson for National Custodian Day. Then October 7th we recognized a special position at Lawson, Instructional Coach. Emily Black provides not only excellent, knowledgeable support to our staff but she has already made such an impact with our students her first year at Lawson. Congrats to our amazing staff this month! Sea Lion Proud!
