🎙️ Producer’s Notes Script correction needed. In the Quick News segment, I scripted the Girls on the Run season as running “September twenty fourth through November sixth.” The source says it runs September 24 through November 16. Please change “November sixth” to “November sixteenth” before rendering in ElevenLabs. Length. The script is longer than the 3 to 10 minute target, probably around 14 minutes. I said it was near ten minutes, and that was too optimistic. I can cut it down if you’d like. Time-sensitive items (episode is dated October 15, 2026). These may have passed by publication: Municipal offices closed Monday, October 12, and the October 12 to 14 committee meetings (in the script only as background; the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee meeting on October 15 was included). Halloween House Decorating Contest registration closes today, October 15, at noon. It is in the script and may be closed before listeners hear it. Lawrence Historical Society lecture is tonight, October 15, at 7:00 p.m. Tri-M Coffee House and The Dog Spot fundraiser are October 16. The LTEEF Sound Bath is also October 16. Passed and not scripted: LHS PTO meeting (Oct 13), early dismissal (Oct 14), powderpuff forms deadline (Oct 14), Trail Clean Up (Oct 10), and Mobile Food Pantry dates of Oct 5 and 12. Discrepancies. The Township address appears as both “2207 Lawrence Road” and “2207 Lawrenceville Road” in the source. I followed the body text: Lawrence Road. News from the Nest lists the second conference day as “November 24, 2025.” I treated it as a typo for 2026. The sewer bill item says bills were mailed the week of September 14. I left that out as stale and kept only the October 26 due date. Acronyms expanded by Claude (please verify). PDS expanded to Princeton Day School. PSAT expanded to Preliminary SAT. FAFSA expanded to Free Application for Federal Student Aid. CSS Profile expanded to College Scholarship Service Profile. LMS/LHS PTO expanded to Lawrence Middle School and Lawrence High School Parent Teacher Organization. NJEA expanded to New Jersey Education Association. STEM expanded to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Ptl. expanded to Patrolman. Tri-M was left as “Tri M” because the source does not expand it. Omitted from the script for content. “NJ is Here to Help” (988 crisis line) is not suited to a family audience. It is listed below with the other omitted items. Omitted for space or because they are link-only. These are preserved in the notes below so no information is lost. Quick News source. The file was a partial Gmail screenshot, and the date comes from the file name. The Brew a Potion Day end time and street address were cut off. The Healthy Kids Running Series dates and prices appear only in the flyer image, so they are included below as image-sourced. 🏛️ Segment 1: Latest in Lawrence (October 8, 2026) 📬 Municipal Address Change The Township is discontinuing P.O.

📝 Producer's Notes Time-sensitive: Homecoming Football Game (Oct 2), Homecoming Dance and Community Day (Oct 3), and Custodian Appreciation Day (Oct 2) may have passed by publication. The thrift sale's Sept 26 date has already passed, so the script covers only Oct 10. The Young Rembrandts early-bird discount ended 10/1 and was omitted. Duplicate source: the PDF held two identical copies of the email. Missing details: the newsletter gives no time or location for the Homecoming Football Game or the Board of Education meeting. Discrepancy: the Volunteers Needed flyer says "Spring Arts Festival" on Oct 9th and 10th, while the body text says Fall Arts Festival with no dates. The script uses the flyer dates. Expanded acronyms: LTEF (Lawrence Township Education Foundation), PCDI (Princeton Child Development Institute), USATF-NJ (USA Track and Field New Jersey), LCSW dropped in favor of "licensed mental health professional." These expansions are not in the source, so please verify LTEF and PCDI. Flyer-sourced details: Community Day activities, Meadows Miler date and location, Young Rembrandts schedule, price, and location, and the Dolly Parton event time details come from the flyers. Omitted for family-friendliness: the beer garden listed on the Community Day flyer. Link-only items: Mercer County Cotillion ("See flyer for more information") is omitted from the script and listed below. Source typo fixed: "Our elementary students and celebrated" read as "elementary students celebrated." 📅 Key Dates DateEventTime / LocationOct 2 | LHS Homecoming Football Game | Not listed Oct 2 | LMS House Relays | 1:15–2:15 PM Oct 3 | LHS Homecoming Dance | 7:00–10:00 PM Oct 3 | Lawrence Township Community Day | Village Park, 1–5 PM Oct 5–9 | LMS Week of Respect | All day Oct 6 | LES Student Photos; LMS Homework Club begins | 9 AM–12 PM; 2:30–4 PM Oct 8 | LMS Digital Safety Assembly; LIS Shines Day | 8–11 AM; 9 AM–3 PM (rain date Oct 9) Oct 9 | LMS Be a Cardinal Day | All day Oct 10 | LHS Cardinal Thrift Sale | LHS Cafeteria, 9 AM–3 PM Oct 12 | Family Workshop: Reset | LHS Auditorium, 6–7:30 PM (doors 5:30) Oct 13 | LMS Picture Retakes; BF Student Pictures | All day Oct 14 | Early Dismissal (Staff PD); Board of Education Meeting | Dismissal 12:30–3:30 PM Oct 24 | 10th Annual Meadows Miler | Rosedale Park, Pennington Nov 7 | A Dolly Parton Candlelight Experience | Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville, 2688 Lawrenceville Rd; sittings 6–7 PM and 8–9 PM Nov 13 | LTEF 15th Annual Handbag Bingo | West Trenton Ballroom Nov 21 | Craft Fair (vendors wanted, $30) | LHS Cafeteria, 9 AM–4 PM 📖 Stories Club Fair (Sept 18), Challenge Day, Dot Day, and the Custodian Appreciation feature are summarized in the script above, including the full custodial team. 🔗 Links and Contacts Family Workshop sign-up: https://forms.gle/DXZsUnBeeiWKpdKY9 LTEF newsletter: https://www.ltefnj.org/newsletter Girls on the Run: girlsontherunnj.org Fall Arts Festival volunteers: https://tinyurl.com/2026FallArtsFest Young Rembrandts: www.youngrembrandts.com/centralwestjersey Meadows Miler: www.meadowsmiler.com Healthy Kids Running Series: healthykidsrunningseries.org Mercer County Cotillion (flyer only): cotillion.com Lawrence Township Public Schools: 2565 Princeton Pike, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648, 609-671-5500

📝 Producer's Notes Omitted from audio (preserved here): The Club Hub section (Fellowship in Christ, Students Helping Honduras, STEM Society, Green Action Team, Theater Company, DECA, Debate Club, Tangents, Peer Buddies, Lawrencian, Math League, Driver's Education Club, Teen PEP, and Knitting and Crochet Club) consisted of flyer images with no descriptive body text, so it was left out of the narrated script per our link-only convention. Omitted from audio (preserved here): The Daily Bell Schedule and the October rotation calendar were image-based tables not suited to narration. Omitted from audio (preserved here): "In Case You Missed It" (newsletter archives), "District News" (LTPS Quick News), and the full "Stay Connected" contact block (address, phone, and social media handles) were boilerplate or link-only items. Summarized: LTC Steve Austin's Bronze Star Medal citation was condensed for the audio script due to its length and dense formal language. Full citation text is below. Acronym expansions: ELL → English Language Learner; LTC → Lieutenant Colonel; PE → Physical Education. PSAT was read as letters, as is standard for that test name. Flag for review: "42D Regional Support Group" was read as "Forty Second Regional Support Group."
