Halloween is all about spooktacular creativity and our school costume parade is the proof! We had the Mario Cart Crew, Agents from Men in Black, Day of the Dead costumes and a whole classroom dressed as Waldo. Our nurses, DSPs and activity staff joined in the festivities with their own unique looks. Finally, our annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest highlighted just how creative we are with the winners being a pumpkin fairy hut and a pumpkin dino egg.

A huge shout out to Stateline Church for spending Sunday morning here at Walter Lawsons. 50 volunteers of all ages spent their morning cleaning our yard, trimming trees, and painting. The youngest volunteers painted rocks to put in our sensory garden and made cards and pictures for our residents. Thank you so much Stateline Church
