Congratulations to the Lawrence Township Public Schools District Green Team for winning their second $2000 grant award from Sustainable Jersey and PSE&G. The “Yoga in the Classroom” grant will be used to fund a professional development seminar for teachers on how to implement yoga in the classroom. The grant, written by Lawrenceville Elementary Principal, Melissa Lockett and District Green Team Leader and 3rd Grade Teacher Cari Gallagher is just one small part of a larger schoolwide focus on healthy mindsets and wellness.
