Since Congressman Rush Holt visited LIS a while back to check out our educational technology program in 6th grade, some of our students have been interested in following him. They recently brought to my attention the fact that he was the lone member of Congress to defeat IBM Super-computer, 'Watson' in a round of Jeopardy! Watson defeated several former Jeopardy! champions as well as a handful of U.S. Representatives from Congress before meeting his match with Congressman Holt. Check out the article by clicking on the link below. http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/03/rep_rush_holt_takes_down_ibm_s.htmlLawrence Intermediate is a great place for children to attend school each day. It is a place where teachers work very hard to address the academic as well as social/emotional needs of their students. We place a great deal of emphasis on developing students of high moral character, integrity and compassion for others. The Lawrence Intermediate School is one of only eleven schools in the entire state of New Jersey who, for the past three years, has been named a NJ School of Character.
