Congrats to our JAG-K Student of the Month, Dalton Parker. Here’s what his teachers shared about the hard work he’s putting in!

Dalton has shown improved maturity this year. He is working hard at keeping his grades up and has done well for me this year. Proud of how he has been working. – Mr. Upson

Dalton has a unique sense of humor that makes him fun to have in my class, he works hard when he sees the worth in what is being done, and he is generally one of the first to step in to help when it is needed. I have seen a lot of personal growth in Dalton since I met him when he was an 8th grader. I look forward to seeing how he continues to grow over the next 2.5 years. – Ms. Baldwin

If you’re still with family today, here’s an easy way to spark some fun stories! We’ve officially digitized Larned yearbooks from 1948 to last year thanks to generous donors and a grant from Midwest Energy They’re all on the LMS touchscreen, but you can view them from anywhere. A computer gives the best experience, but phones do the job too. Want to sponsor your class year? It’s $35 and your name will appear above the yearbook you choose forever. Just contact Allisa Spain, the Alumni Association, or a member of the Booster Club. Enjoy the trip down memory lane! 🧡🖤 #larnedpride https://site.rocketalumnisolutions.com/category/684262362f1ff8800b69e117/6920040bb682b2f2c2fa2d71?fromHome=true
