🎉 It’s School Board Appreciation Month! 🎉
Let us introduce you to Tyson Atteberry! Tyson just completed his first year serving on the USD 495 Board of Education, and we’re so proud to have him on the team! 👏
When we asked Tyson, “What motivates you to dedicate your time and energy to serving our schools and community?” here’s what he shared:
💬 "I have had many people who have influenced me in my life that volunteered in various roles in our community. It’s the biggest reason why I have given so much of my time to youth sports in Larned. I felt it was time to do something bigger. I decided to run for school board because of the kids. I am proud to be a part of a board that is committed to giving the students in our district the opportunity to succeed in whatever they decide to do. We continue to lay the foundation for future generations of Larned Indians!"
Thank you, Tyson, for your dedication and leadership in shaping the future of our schools! 🧡🖤 #larnedpride #bettertogether #ThankBOE
🎉 We had the BEST time during our Board Work Session this morning at LES! 🎉
We covered so much—from school updates to hearing from our Building Leadership Team (BLT) members about the impact of our newly adopted Visible Learning practices.
Spending time with some of our awesome 4th and 5th grade ambassadors was definitely a highlight! They spoiled our Board with gifts to celebrate School Board Appreciation Month and even challenged them to a Blooket game about state capitals. It was neck and neck for most of the game, but little 4th grader Josie Kraisinger pulled off an epic comeback and beat Buddy Tabler in the final seconds. Go Josie! 🙌
Our Board also spent time hearing from BLT members and having some great conversations. A few board members even shared how much they appreciated seeing the “back end” of things—how decisions made at their level are put into action in our buildings.
This morning was an absolute 10/10, and we’re so thankful for everyone who helped make it such a great day! 🧡🖤 #larnedpride #lesfamily #bettertogether
🎉 It’s School Board Appreciation Month! 🎉
Surely you all know this guy—whether it’s from broadcasting Larned Varsity sports on 106.9, writing for the Tiller & Toiler, or serving on numerous boards and committees around town. Buddy Tabler has also been named a Sports in Kansas Fan of the Year because he’s a huge supporter of our schools and always has been! 🏆
Buddy is entering his 9th year serving on the USD 495 Board of Education. 👏
When we asked Buddy, “If you could share one piece of advice or encouragement for students, staff, or families in our district, what would it be?” here’s what he shared:
💬 "I encourage everyone, students, teachers, and staff, to appreciate what a special school system we have in Larned. It’s not perfect and, thus, we should all do our part to make it even better, from academics to athletics to social activities as well. It’s easy to bail out and look for greener pastures, but it’s far more rewarding to make what we have the best it can be."
Thank you, Buddy, for your dedication and leadership in shaping the future of our schools! 🧡🖤 #larnedpride #bettertogether #ThankBOE
