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

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! 🏛️📚
