Assistant Principal Mrs. Johnson says, "Lauren is a very sweet and kind young lady. On the first day of school this year, Lauren included a student with special needs at their lunch table when this student had nowhere else to eat lunch. She continues to go out of her way to make all students feel welcome and included in lunchtime activities. She is an example to all students."
