Rename Owego Elementary School in memory of Mrs. Connie Lawrence

LOVED HER AND HER HAPPINESS THAT GLOWED FROM HER

She d one if he best

I spent the entire leadership portion of my career in education looking for teachers like Connie Lawrence!! She was the best classroom teacher I ever had the pleasure of knowing!!

Mrs. Lawrence will always hold a special place in my heart. My mother passed away the summer before I started Middle School she pulled me aside one day and told she is always available to talk to if I ever needed someone. She was more than my teacher she was my friend. To this day I sill use her famous trick to help people get rid of hic ups. :-)

Connie Lawrence wAs an amazing and influential educator, coach and role model.

The love Mrs. Lawrence gave to those she encountered still is remembered today - a thumb print in all our hearts.

Mrs Lawrence is one of the most inspiriational and amazing teacher I have ever had. She made an impact on my life and thousands of other people.

Do this! Mrs. Lawrence was the best teacher I ever had.

This would be a great honor. She is still known and missed.

An inspiration to all

Connie remains an inspiration to me all these years later, one of the best people I was lucky enough to be mentored by!

My dad was a custodian at Apalachin Elementary. He knew all the teachers, and I remember Mrs. Lawrence fondly because he spoke of her so highly. Not everyone recognized the contribution the support staff make to every school, but Mrs. Lawrence treated my dad with the same respect as the superintendent. That says a lot about the kind of person she was. The kids who grew up being taught in her classroom learned from her example, and I can't think of a better thing for kids to learn than simply treating one another with respect and dignity. It seems fitting to honor her legacy this way.

Mrs Lawrence was a teacher at the junior high when I was there I never had her for class but went to her to talk to when I needed help. One Christmas she took my sister and I to jamesway and gave us each 50 dollars to buy Christmas gifts and then took us for dinner and to her house. That was one of the best holidays I had and she was aalways a great mentor to me. I hope they name the school for her it would be a great honor that her legacy deserves

Connie was an amazing person and teacher. Would love to see this happen. Many people in this community remember her and if you were her student, she gave you the best education!

Beautiful woman. Love you Aunt Connie

Best teacher I ever had in the Owego/Apalachin School District

My aunt Connie was always a great example and mentor and education was so important to her this would be such an honor!!

Aunt Connie was a true gift and so blessed for all the lessons, both life and school that she provided. What a great honor in her memory.

Lovely woman and mentor for all children who were fortunate to benefit fr her influence.

Mrs Lawrence always taught such great stories of the Owego folklore and history such as The Indian Miaden Sa-Sa-Na Loft. I will never forget the contributions she made and compassion she had for teaching.
