We are proud to announce that LVA 8th grader Livya Vikraman has been selected as a local finalist in the National Civics Bee!

She chose to focus on improving student safety by creating safe walking routes to and from school. As one of the highest-scoring essay applicants in the area, she earned the opportunity to advance to the next round—a live competition hosted by the Moore Chamber of Commerce on April 7 at Randall University where she will present her essay to a panel of judges for a chance to win up to $500!

We are incredibly proud of her for this achievement and wish Livya the best of luck in the upcoming competition! #LawtonPS #LVAanywhere #WeAreLPS #NationalCivicsBee

Mrs. Shegog's 8th grade U.S. History class used their creative abilities to demonstrate their understanding of the Civil War through the creation of political cartoons. The students' cartoons that met the requirements of the assignment were entered into a friendly competition. An unnamed judge selected the top 3 cartoons. The winners of the competition are Bradley Close (EMS) - 1st place, Livya Vikraman (MMS) - 2nd place, and Kenija Brown (CMS) - 3rd place. Each of the winners will receive a prize. #LawtonPS #LVAanywhere #GSC #DLC

They are the calm in the chaos, the encouragers on the hard days, the schedule-fixers, problem-solvers, cheerleaders, listeners, and champions for our kids. Douglass is better because of them — and our students are, too.

Thank you, Mr. McKelvey and Mrs. Hamilton, for showing up for our K–12 kids every single day. We appreciate you more than words (or gift baskets or lunches or sweet treats 😉) can say! 💛🦁 #NationalSchoolCounselorsWeek #WeAreLPS #LawtonPS #DLC
