The Wichita Children's Theatre Touring Co. performed for our LES students today! Kindergarten through 2nd grade saw "The Three Little Kittens" and 3rd grade through 5th grade saw "Yankee Doodle". The Three Little Kittens was a musical comedy about three ornery kittens learn many life lessons, but most importantly, how important it is to tell the truth. Yankee Doodle was also a musical comedy, but this play glorified the men and women of America and their accomplishments; ranging from the creation of the ice cream cone to Abraham Lincoln. #lesfamily #larnedpride

There will be no school for USD 495 tomorrow, February 16th due to the predicted winter weather by the National Weather Service, specifically the winter storm advisory in effect for our school district. We are expecting moderate snow in our area with high winds that will cause blowing snow and difficult travel conditions. All activity practices are cancelled for tomorrow. The 3rd/4th grade Music Program will be rescheduled for a later date. Student safety is always our top priority and we appreciate your support.
Fourth graders were challenged to decorate a Valentine's box. Here were the top 3 from each class. All of the kids made some really creative boxes. Thank you families for helping put these together.
