This past week, we've had the privilege to welcome United States Veterans to lead our morning announcements at Larned Middle School.
Each day brought a new hero:
🗓️ Monday (9/6): Dr. Jon Briel, Captain in the United States Army
🗓️ Tuesday (9/7): Michael Vondracek, Commander of Walter S Chears Post 106, Department of Kansas American Legion
🗓️ Wednesday (9/8): Specialist 4th Class 13 Foxtrot, Roger Strasburg, US Army
🗓️ Thursday (9/9): Sgt. Jacob Robison, USMC
A heartfelt thank you to these veterans for taking time out of their busy schedules to be with us in honor of Veterans Day. And an even bigger thank you to all the veterans who have bravely served our country. #larnedpride #bettertogether
Last night, our 1st and 2nd graders lit up the stage at their Veterans Concert! 🇺🇸💙 They delivered an incredible performance, honored veterans in the crowd, and also paid tribute to their personal heroes through a slideshow. #larnedpride #lesfamily

Today was a special day in Mrs. McNett's Pre-K class with a visit from Mrs. Clapsaddle! She engaged the little ones with an interactive finger play all about turkeys, followed by reading the book "Where the Wild Things Are". The students couldn't get enough of her! #larnedpride #bettertogether #lesfamily
FBLA had their Friendsgiving tonight at El Dos! Students enjoyed lots of laughs and a fun white elephant gift exchange. Jayden Crosby walked away with the best gift of all...just ask her! What a good sport she was though! #larnedpride #besttribeever

Today, Dr. Ben Proctor, Deputy Commissioner for The Division of Learning Services at the Kansas Department of Education (KSDE), met with the LHS Student Advisory Council. In just their second meeting, the council's insights have the potential to reach far beyond the walls at LHS, extending their influence to the state capitol in Topeka and key figures within the State education department.
During the meeting, students were presented with a series of thought-provoking questions. They discussed the relationship between KSDE and the 286 schools across Kansas, shed light on the crucial role that teachers play in shaping the educational experience of students, and the students' perspectives on State Assessment testing.
Dr. Proctor's mission to engage with stakeholders across the state emphasizes KSDE's commitment to guiding every child in Kansas toward success. The LHS Student Advisory Council is the first group of students to share their experiences directly with Dr. Proctor, making their feedback invaluable.
Today’s meeting proves the true value of amplifying student voices in the ongoing conversation about education here at home and throughout our entire state. Thank you to both Dr. Proctor and the students in our advisory council for your time and insights. #larnedpride #besttribeever #bettertogether
