LETTER FROM THE HEADMASTERDear LWA families,
I am very pleased to introduce the return of our printed school calendar! This calendar contains a great deal of information that will be helpful to you throughout the school year. I hope that you will use it often.
LWA is more than a school; we are a community. We are brought together by shared values and a commitment to our children’s education. Our community has a wonderful past as demonstrated though the stories of so many of our alumni. Our present is represented by all of you -- our current families. And our future belongs to our students who work so hard to succeed and realize their full potential.
Many people support our students; our faculty, administration, and of course, you. This calendar helps us to recognize the events that can bring us together. I especially want to thank the Parents Association for their support. This calendar highlights many of their events and meetings. I hope you will participate and get involved with the PA this year as a volunteer. It is a terrific way to give back to our school.
I wish you all the best for a very successful school year and I hope to see you at many events as the months go by.
Sincerely,
Alan BernsteinHeadmaster
Our goal is to maximize each student’s potential and provide the important values necessary to lead a responsible adult life. Our students learn the importance of scholarship, service and respect and exhibit a lifelong love of learning.
