School Day Leadership and Learning Extensions

Arts

Lawton offers arts programs funded by the PTA and the City of Seattle Creative Advantage grant. Art instruction is integrated into the curriculum by Lawton teachers, and students also benefit from PTA art docents, an artist-in-residence, visiting authors, assemblies, workshops, and other school events. 

Student Clubs

In 4th and 5th grades, students have the chance to join a club on Wednesdays after the WAVE assembly. Past club options have included: Lawton Student Union (ASB), Library Leaders, Capoeira, Student Newspaper, Choir, Sports Electives, Book to Movie, and Lego Robotics.

Safety Patrol

Fifth-grade students on Safety Patrol arrive early to help monitor crosswalks at 27th and Elmore, assist walkers in safely crossing streets, and greet students in the car drop-off line. These students demonstrate responsibility and leadership while following instructions to ensure everyone’s safety. Each team is supervised by an adult at the intersection; please follow the directions of both students and adults during drop-off.

Instrumental Music

Lawton offers instrumental music lessons to 4th and 5th graders on Monday afternoons. Students can choose instruments from the string, brass, or woodwind families. Instruction happens during the school day.

I’m delighted to go on this:

Journey of learning with
Everyone who comes to my classroom. We will
Overcome challenges and
Never give up until this world
Gets better because of you and me!
