Kashonda Lawrence
Head Teacher

I am Kashonda Lawrence Bowles and I am a Preschool Teacher at Fay Miller Center in Room 1. I have been employed at LULAC for 17 years. I am a recipient of the "Terri Lynne Lokoff Children's Tylenol National Childcare Teacher Award" among other accolades. I am devoted and passionate about guiding children to be successful through learning, exploration, music and fun! I value the importance of making a difference by teaching tomorrow’s decision makers or as I call it, "helping to grow brains". In the classroom, I make children smile and help them reach their goals. I take pride in spending time with my family outside of work. I am the proud Mother of two boys Anthony and Davian Jay. I live by the motto: "Guide their thoughts, and advise their faults. Instill in them that "they matter!”
