I would like to nominate Amanda Johnson for an Orange Spot. Our job as educators does not stop in the classroom. I witnessed her patience, kindness and teaching with an elementary student out in the community. Watching her truly shows how a teacher's job never stops and the importance of each interaction we have with our students whether it be inside or outside the classroom.

I would like to nominate Mrs. Joyce Link for an Orange Spot. Not only is Joyce a Special Education Para she oversees the concessions for Middle School and High School activities after her time in the classroom. She makes working in the concessions seem easy, however there is a lot of preparation before the window even opens for business. Joyce does the inventory, reporting what needs to be ordered and preparing hot food. Thank you for all you do Mrs. Link

Final from the Larned vs. Haven Varsity Boys game.

A few of Mr. Hewson's students attended ACTE day at the capital to highlight their accomplishments and the construction program at Larned High School. These students met with legislatures and gave them customized gifts made in the Woodworking class. It was a great experience for all! 🏛️📚
