📚✏️ It’s National Public Schools Week!
To celebrate, we asked some of our staff to share what working in public schools means to them. Their responses highlight the passion and dedication they bring to our students and community every day.
We are grateful for the amazing staff and students who make Fort Larned USD 495 such a special place. Public education is truly a community effort, and we’re proud to be part of it!

Mrs. Gladow recently launched a Book Buddy program pairing our 5th graders with 1st/2nd grade students. Nothing melts our hearts more than seeing our older students step up as leaders and our younger ones grow as eager readers.
