Homecoming Week is in full swing. Students are participating in daily dress themes and other activities associated with Homecoming, including the food drive and the Pep Rally, and the float building competition and parade on Friday. The classes are competing against each other for the right to be Homecoming Champs and thus the members of their Court to be crowned King and Queen at the Homecoming Dance. Ticket sales for the dance are going on each day at the lunches. Class meetings are also being held this week during Advisory blocks so those students running for Class Officer can give their speeches. Voting will take place after the speeches have been given. Newly elected officers will be informed by Mr. Quirion, Student Council Advisor, and Mr. Cyr.
Please look for the Bulldog Bulletin, a weekly bulletin that comes out on Fridays. Old publications can be found on the high school’s webpage and you can subscribe to receive the weekly bulletin right to your in-box. Pictures and happenings around school are published every Friday!
Lawrence High School Good News
The Seniors had a guest speaker during Advisory this past Wednesday from Colby College to talk about the college application process. Hannah Hartnett works in the Admissions Office for Colby and works with the STARS College Network and is an outreach coordinator working with 7 rural schools, Lawrence HS being one of them. The STARS College Network (starscollegenetwork.org) partners with top colleges to ensure that students from rural and small-town America have the information and support they need to enroll and graduate from the college or university of their choice. Hannah will be working with our students throughout the year to introduce the college process and hold particular seminars aimed at specific classes throughout the year. We have monthly meetings set up during the students’ Advisory block when she will be in to work with specific grade level students. She is also coordinating a College Panel Night at Lawrence HS in the Williamson Auditorium on November 12, 2025 at 6:00 PM. The panel will include Admissions Officers from KVCC, Thomas, USM, and Colby College and Hannah will act as moderator. This will be an open event for the surrounding communities.

On Tuesday, the Sophomores will be taking the English portion of the test during Block 1 and Advisory. On Wednesday, they will be taking their Math portion during Advisory and Block 2. Students will be excused from their respective classes on those days and periods.
A reminder to parents dropping off or picking up their students during the morning bus drop-off / afternoon pick-up times, you should be doing so out back via Bulldog Drive, and at the Cafeteria entrance. Thank you for your cooperation and adherence to this new procedure. It is adding to the overall safety on campus and helping to alleviate the traffic congestion we have experienced in the past.
Have a good week!
Last Friday, these students were treated to a special surprise...a visit from a real live cow! Duke - a 3 month old Hereford / Angus bull calf from the Salley/Skehan farm - dropped our Lawrence Primary School parking lot. Our young Bulldogs were incredibly excited and curious, asking lots of great questions to learn even more!
