We believe that each and every staff member here at USD 495 is an essential part of our team, and we have seen some wonderful nominations for our staff of the month award! While we aren't able to choose every staff member to win each month, we didn't want to keep all of this positivity to ourselves! So, here's our first ever cheer from a peer, acknowledging the amazing things our Ft. Larned family does throughout the school year. We are grateful for all of you! #larnedpride #lesfamily

Please note that the first time you pick up meals, you will need to bring your child(ren) and complete the required paperwork.
