 Samantha Schultz, Lawrence North Class of 2011, is an inspiration to us all. In September 2016, Sam (as her friends call her) suffered a life-threatening brain injury as a result of a mountain biking crash. With her hard work and determination, she has shown us how much one can accomplish. Click

ALUMNI CONNECTIONS AND LTSF
UP & RUNNING CLUB
The afterschool running program, Up & Running, has been funded by the Lawrence Township School Foundation for 11 years and the impact it is making on LT students is life-changing. Students in grades 4 and up practice 2 times per week and train for a run in both spring and fall. This program helps students learn the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Also, Up & Running allows us to stay connected with our alumni in a variety of ways.

Liz Vlach Navarre |
New to the Beyond Monumental team is Liz (Vlach) Navarre, Lawrence North Class of 2005. Liz is the Strategic Partnerships Manager for the organization and an avid runner. Liz's days at Lawrence North will always be special to her, not just because of all the lifelong friendships she made, but also because she met her husband, Taylor Navarre, also Lawrence North Class of 2005, during their junior year.
It is always fun seeing our alumni working and being active in our community. Also, remember your participation in these events supports LT students.
