We are reminded again this year, there is POWER in coming TOGETHER. Nearly 40 40
years ago, education and community visionaries proved that reality as they began the
Lawrence Township School Foundation (LTSF). Since then, LTSF has poured 8.2 million
y rs of
dollars back into Lawrence Township schools to empower students through supporters y rs of
like YOU who give and serve TOGETHER.

The POWER of the 2021-2022 school year was felt in being together. As normalcy began to
return with lessening pandemic protocols, students predominantly attended school in-person
rather than virtually, and LTSF was able to provide a 22% increase in program funding. Fifty-one
Creative Impact Grants and mini Grants for teachers extended social, emotional, and academic support
for students’ return to the classroom. LTSF-funded Legacy Study Trips returned, offering access and
opportunity to experiential learning for K-6 students. 200 FORE the Kids golfers showed up, maxing out
the capacity of the course. And our annual Celebration vibrated with the joy and excitement of being
TOGETHER after two years. For the first time, attendees lit up the dance floor until the lights went out at the
end of the night.

As we look forward, LTSF is proud to continue our partnership with MSDLT to provide meaningful
programming for all 16,000 students. By working shoulder to shoulder with YOU and the District, we can
fund new programs like this year’s CAMPTOWN, which provides skill, confidence, and independence
building through outdoor education for exceptional learners.

As we head into our ruby anniversary of 40 years, we see powerful possibilities before us. LTSF is the great
connector between community and classrooms. The POWER of your support works TOGETHER with LTSF to
expand the ways we build community, support teachers, and empower students to shine. TOGETHER we are
ready to write the next chapter of possibilities.

With gratitude,
