Lawrenceville School junior Jake Zabaleta lights a Womanspace luminary in front of Chambers Walk on Route 206 in Lawrenceville in support of the 13th annual Womanspace Communities of Light, the single largest project in Mercer County and New Jersey designed to increase awareness about the issues of domestic violence and sexual support. Lawrenceville’s participation was coordinated by the student organization Winners Club, which was co-founded by Mr. Zabaleta and classmate Simon Shore. “We heard great things about the Womanspace Communities of Light event and wanted to further support such an awesome, local cause,” said Mr. Zabaleta. Lawrenceville students made their highest contribution to date, $1,400; they sold and assembled 816 luminaries, which were displayed in front of the School on Route 206 Monday, December 8.
