    We had a wonderful time staffing the kids zone @ the Tour's Sprints and Criterium over 4th of July Carolyn and Jane Staff the bouncy houseweekend were greatly appreciated again this year.
    We held off on the 4th just until the rain started and managed to get everything put away before the skies broke open.
    We also had a booth set up to sell bottles of water on the hot day as well as our swanky new RideLawrence T-shirts.
    We still have a few shirts left.  EMAIL us if you are interested.

  • 2010 Teacher of the Year & Local Rotary Exchange Students Visit

    Lawrence Central Rotary is proud to announce Jane Phelps as LCR's 2010 Teacher of the yearour 2010 Teacher of The Year recipient.  Jane's signature phrase "Grab a root and grunt" sums up Jane's approach of seeing a challenge, analyzing it, and coming up with a plan to overcome it.  Then, get busy.  Jane is retiring this year from Schwegler Elementary – where she taught fifth grade for over 20 years. Jane has instilled her work ethic and stick-to-it attitude to so many students over the year, and for that, we thank her.
