LES welcomed Landon Erway and his staff from State Farm Insurance this morning as they hosted the first Hi5 Friday after winter break. The students were so excited to get their hugs and high fives and seeing "Jake from State Farm" was a special surprise! Thank you, Landon, for the items for the drawing for students and staff. A student won the "Jake" bobblehead and Mr. Gladow, Miss. Fairchild, Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Spain won Amazon gift cards. How fun!
A big thank you to the Larned community for their enthusiastic response to hosting a Friday! Your support of LES and our students means the world to us! We are now scheduling for Fridays into the 2023-2024 school year. If your business or club would like to host a Hi5 Friday, please contact Tina Gladow at LES: 620-285-2141 or tina.gladow@usd495.com.
