A huge thank you to Sonic for bringing the fun to our Hi5 Friday at the elementary school yesterday morning! #lesfamily #larnedpride

A few more #goodnewscallhome and I had to brag on this kiddo who chose to have Mr. G write her math problems during recess this week because she loves math and a good challenge. Exponents and parenthesis in 2nd grade! Love to see her own love for learning and remaining curious, one of our POWER skills. #lesfamily #learningisfun

#goodnewscallhome still coming!

Teachers have been challenged to keep finding the positive behavior as we inch closer to the end of the school year and they're doing just that. #goodnewscallhome

Softball also wins Game #2 and finishes off the sweep of Nickerson.

In Game #2, the LHS Baseball team picks up the win and completes the sweep of Nickerson.

The senior class members of Larned High School's JAG-K program got to take a trip to Topeka. They visited the Capital, ate good food, took a tour of Washburn University and even got a picture with Governor Laura Kelly.

Larned High School JAG-K students traveled to Dodge City for a field trip to Foley Equipment, where they explored careers in heavy equipment, diesel technology, and business operations. Students toured the facility, saw advanced diagnostic tools in action, and learned about career paths, training, and certifications. Experiences like this help connect classroom learning to real-world opportunities after graduation.

Who says you can’t celebrate everything at once? Our May Day Muffin celebration landed right after our Touch-a-Truck event this year, and what a turnout it was for both! We loved seeing so many smiling faces come together today to enjoy some sweet treats and great company. Thanks to our PTO for providing the muffins and always love seeing our school board members come participate in things too. They were slinging muffins like it was their job! #lesfamily #larnedpride

The start time for the Baseball double header at Russell has been moved up due to the potential for rain later in the evening. We are planning on a 3:30pm start, but they will start a little earlier if the umpires are able to get there sooner.

Congratulations to Brenn Castro, our JAG-K Student of the Month 👏
Here’s what her teachers shared about Brenn:

"Brenn is responsible, personable, motivated, and an overall pleasure to be around. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for her." - Mr. Keith

"Brenn is one of those students who quietly makes a classroom better just by being in it. She is incredibly sweet, respectful, and consistently kind to both her peers and teachers. She works hard, follows through, and treats everyone with kindness and respect. It has been a joy to watch her grow and see her positive attitude show up day after day. She is very deserving of Student of the Month." - Mrs. Haney

"Brenn is an awesome kid. She is always happy and works hard in class." - Mr. Upson

"Brenn is such a joy in class! She never complains and seems to always have a great day. Even when she wasn’t feeling good, she still had something funny to say with her low raspy voice." - Mrs. Pontius

Way to go, Brenn! Keep up the hard work. #larnedpride
