LMS Spirit Week coming soon!!

We are currently experiencing issues with our phone lines. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we work on a fix.
Thank you to our Larned Elementary School student ambassadors and their sponsors for leading the Pledge of Allegiance at last night's board meeting, and to all of the classes who participated in our annual Board of Education Appreciation poster contest. Those student messages are always a highlight!!
Owen Shaver and Easton Fox, Student Advisory Council members, introduced Denise Schmidt from the Tri County Special Education Cooperative, along with LMS PBIS teachers Ryan Rohling and Alexis Vanasse, who shared more about PBIS and the work happening in their classroom and treated the board to food prepared by their students. Brennon Stahlecker also stood before the board to share about his experience in JAG and the impact the program has had on him. The board celebrated Board Appreciation Month with a video created with help from our high school intern Maggie Haas and our student “movie stars,” along with a gift from JAG.
Congratulations to Jessie Pleasant and Michelle Koch on their re election as Board President and Vice President, and we are excited to welcome Ben Ramsey as our newest board member!
