Today we are celebrating the unsung heroes, our maintenance crew! We would like to thank and recognize these three for all they do to keep up our facilities throughout USD 495! If you are ever out and about and see these guys, don't forget to tell them thank you! #larnedpride

You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, just open a book! Happy Birthday, Dr. Suess! There was tons of reading going on at LES today. A special shout out to the United Way for sending these three ladies to read to our students. The 1st graders also got to "Pop a Top!" with their parents! What a fun day! #readacrossamerica #lesfamily #bettertogether

We had an amazing turnout to our Coffee Hour at LHS this morning! Three of our CTE (Career & Tech Ed.) instructors presented what their classes offer to our students here, and we all enjoyed our coffee cake made by Ms. Haney's FACS class! Following the coffee hour, we were able to give a tour of our facility and I think a good time was had by all! You can watch the coffee hour live on Larned Chamber of Commerce Facebook page. Thanks for coming! #larnedpride










This little lady earned herself a good news call home! So proud! #goodnewscallhome

Congratulations to Madeline Hamrick for receiving a 1 rating at CKL League music Festival at Tabor College. #larnedpride

The Rodeo Committee stopped by LES today to check out the variety of activities that they have purchased for our elementary school. They donated $2000 to support our students, how awesome is that?! They also did this for Pawnee Heights students along with generous donations this year to the Larned Fire Dept. & EMS. In years past, they have purchased new headphones for Kindergarten classrooms and sight word discs for the hallways. The Rodeo Committee is made up of 10 board members and they are preparing to host their 4th annual open rodeo during Santa Fe Trail Days, May 26th & 27th. They love to give back to the kids and have a pretty exciting surprise up their sleeves... stay tuned! #bettertogether #larnedpride #lesfamily
