On January 18, 2016, students, parents, seniors and Lawrence Middle School staff came together to provide service for the community during the 1st Lawrence Middle School MLK Day of Service. The event was designed to provide service opportunities for the students of Lawrence Middle School and to provide computer and technical assistance to seniors and community members.
Students, staff and community members worked together on a variety of service projects which included wrapping silverware and toothbrushes for the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (toothbrushes and toothpaste donated by Dr. Michael Scalia, D.D.S.; Dr. Paul D. Derman, D.M.D.; Dr. Donald C. Thiel, D.M.D.; and Dr. Karen Winlerfield-Dodds, D.M.D.), cutting and sorting coupons for the Troopons project, writing letters to Armed Forces service members and crocheting hats for newborns.
The event was well attended with over 80 students, staff members, and community members volunteering their time.
