Third Grade Market Day was full of creativity and fun! 🛍️ Our students got a hands-on look at what it’s like to run a business. They came up with their own products and services, set up booths, and “sold” their creations using classroom money.
With a little help from home, they planned, prepped, and made it all happen. From slime and keychains to joke booths and even a game show, these kids brought the energy and big ideas.
Thanks to our families for supporting this fun learning experience. We’re proud of our young entrepreneurs! #larnedpride #lesfamily #bettertogether









🍦 Big thanks to Pawnee County COOP for surprising our LMS students with ice cream on Wednesday afternoon! #larnedpride #bettertogether


If you're attending the awards assembly at LMS today, you’ll notice the north bleachers aren’t fully extended. We’re having some trouble getting them to open all the way, but a repair crew is scheduled for later this morning and they’ll be good to go for graduation.
Please use the southeast bleachers for seating this morning. Thanks for understanding! #larnedpride
Rise and shine, seniors! ☀️
Senior Sunrise is this morning in the NW corner of the parking lot. Breakfast starts at 7:15 AM.
Don’t forget your chair or blanket! #larnedpride

What a day! 🎣
Many of our 5th graders fished for the first time this morning. Thanks to Mr. Gladow for beginning this tradition and to all who helped reel in the fun! #larnedpride #lesfamily










Today was Autumn Holopirek’s last day as Mrs. Makings’ TA. She’s been a constant for the past two years, and our littles are going to miss her big time. Thanks for making such a difference! #larnedpride #lesfamily #bettertogether


Don’t forget! 🎉
We’re inviting 5th grade families to come decorate yard signs together on May 21 from 5:15–6:15 PM in the LES cafeteria. We're excited to celebrate your student as they move up to LMS! #larnedpride #lesfamily #bettertogether

That’s a wrap for Be Your Best Academy! Our last day is Wednesday, May 21. There will be no BYBA on Thursday, May 22.
Looking ahead to next year, registration for BYBA will open during school enrollment. All spots will reset, so students will need to reapply to participate in 2025–2026. #larnedpride #lesfamily

Way to go, Camden Bird!
He completed his CDL theory class and passed his learner’s permit exams at the DMV. Next up: CDL driving class this summer to earn his full license! #larnedpride

3...2...1...BOOK BLAST! 🚀📚
Thanks to everyone who supported our Book Blast event! LES raised over $24,000—enough to put around 1,500 books into the hands of our students. Every child took home a book (or five!) on Friday, and our school library also earned a $1,700 shopping spree for even more new titles.
We’re so excited to help build up home libraries across our school! #larnedpride #lesfamily #bettertogether








Community Service Day was a great one for LMS! Students jumped in to help at places like Pawnee Rock, the Humane Society, and even washed school buses for our school district!
Huge thanks to our staff and transportation team for helping it all come together. Proud of our kids for doing good work and giving back! #larnedpride #bettertogether










Mrs. Brabb doesn’t ask for recognition, but her students notice the way she treats them. She’s respectful, kind, and steady, and we think that deserves to be celebrated!
