Last night at the Board meeting, we were also able to recognize these LHS students for qualifying for State Music with their solos and ensembles. We are so proud of them and all of their hard work and accomplishments! #larnedpride
We have just completed another round of announcing the staff members of the month at each school facility. The outside voting panel that helps us select our District staff member of the month is Sharon Lessard with the Foundation for Education, William Nusser, the Mayor of Larned, and Alex Filbert, the Chamber of Commerce director. We are excited to announce that the district staff member of the month award for April goes to Mrs. Kristen Pontius! LHS is voting for their Rockstar teacher and Mrs. Pontius was nominated for always being “In Tune”, a teacher who is mindful of your mental and physical health, and makes it obvious that they truly care. Congratulations, Kristen! #larnedpride
A HUGE thank you goes to Country Seasons Flower Shoppe for their generous donation of a flower bouquet for our District winners, and to Koch's Kustoms for their donation of the Larned cups for each building winner. #bettertogether

Each month, we would like to recognize a staff member from Larned Middle School and highlight their achievements! Nominations are open to be submitted by students and fellow staff members at LMS to select one staff member to be named their All-Star of the month! This morning, Mrs. Wagner was named the All-Star Staff Member for April! She was awarded because of her kindness and willingness to help. One of her nominations said "She always notices me." Congratulations, Mrs. Wagner! Thank you for everything you do for USD 495! #larnedpride
Just a reminder: If you adopted a senior, please drop your gift off in the LHS office by Friday! #larnedpride
5th graders toured LMS today as they will be headed to school there before we know it! This experience helps them (hopefully) shake off some nerves by touring the building, asking questions to the older students, seeing what extracurricular activities LMS has to offer, and learning friendly faces. Each 5th grade student's name was hung around the hallways with a welcoming note written on the back from an LMS student. We will miss them next year at LES! #lesfamily #larnedpride
During the month of May, LES Ambassadors have invited Welcome Inn friends to come walk with us in the morning before school starts. #lesfamily #larnedpride #bettertogether

Teachers play a huge role in our lives! Each month, we would like to recognize the teachers from Larned High School and highlight their achievements. Nominations were submitted by students and other staff members at LHS for the Rockstar Teacher award. Mrs. Pontius was selected as our April Rockstar Teacher at LHS! She was nominated for this award many times, but the common theme was that she is kind and always willing to help. Students and staff also shared how positive she is and how she cares deeply for each student equally. Thank you for all you do, Mrs. P! #larnedpride #rockstarteacheraward
