A huge thank you to Sonic for bringing the fun to our Hi5 Friday at the elementary school yesterday morning! #lesfamily #larnedpride

A few more #goodnewscallhome and I had to brag on this kiddo who chose to have Mr. G write her math problems during recess this week because she loves math and a good challenge. Exponents and parenthesis in 2nd grade! Love to see her own love for learning and remaining curious, one of our POWER skills. #lesfamily #learningisfun

#goodnewscallhome still coming!

Teachers have been challenged to keep finding the positive behavior as we inch closer to the end of the school year and they're doing just that. #goodnewscallhome

Larned High School JAG-K students traveled to Dodge City for a field trip to Foley Equipment, where they explored careers in heavy equipment, diesel technology, and business operations. Students toured the facility, saw advanced diagnostic tools in action, and learned about career paths, training, and certifications. Experiences like this help connect classroom learning to real-world opportunities after graduation.

Who says you can’t celebrate everything at once? Our May Day Muffin celebration landed right after our Touch-a-Truck event this year, and what a turnout it was for both! We loved seeing so many smiling faces come together today to enjoy some sweet treats and great company. Thanks to our PTO for providing the muffins and always love seeing our school board members come participate in things too. They were slinging muffins like it was their job! #lesfamily #larnedpride
