LAWRENCE, NEW YORK (SEPTEMBER 2025)—On Thursday, September 18, Lawrence Primary School opened its doors to families for a heartwarming and informative Back to School Night—a special evening dedicated to building strong home-school connections and celebrating the start of an exciting new academic year.
The night began with a warm welcome from Principal Dr. Kristen Panzarella and Assistant Principal Ms. Karina Pistorio, who shared key information about school policies, goals for the year, and the many ways Lawrence Primary School is supporting student growth and success. Their message set a tone of partnership and community that carried throughout the evening. Following the presentation, families were invited into classrooms to meet their child’s teacher, explore the learning environment, and even sit in their child’s seat—offering a firsthand look at the places where learning happens every day.
The auditorium also came alive with representatives from the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), PAL organization, Warren Levi Martial Arts, and LPS’s support staff, all on hand to share resources and connect with families. These community partnerships reflect LPS’s commitment to supporting the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally.
The energy of the evening reflected the vibrant, inclusive spirit of Lawrence Primary School. With strong family involvement and a dedicated team of educators and community partners, the 2025–2026 school year is already off to a GREAT start.
