This has to be one of our favorite Super Chat interviews yet! Nurse Cindi shares what it’s really like to care for kids every day—and it’s so much more than Band-Aids. Can you believe our nurses have already documented 4,573 health office visits this year across 3 buildings? And we still have 9 weeks to go! That number doesn’t even include scheduled meds, screenings, or chronic care. Give it a listen. There’s so much to learn (and love) in this episode! #larnedpride 🎥: https://youtu.be/v5e9eTpHzj0?feature=shared

One week from today, we’ll talk about how to protect the one precious childhood every child gets. You’re invited to Protect Young Eyes—a powerful, nationally recognized presentation that gives everyday adults practical ways to help keep kids safe online. Even the most loving adults can feel unsure. The world has changed—the apps, the access, the unknowns. That’s why this night matters. If you’re a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, neighbor, coach, or friend—this night is for you. Even if you’re not sure what to expect. Even if you think this might not apply to your child. Even if you feel like you don’t know enough about technology. If you attend, you’ll leave with simple, real-life steps you can take right away to make your home safer. We know it’s a busy weeknight, so we’ve made it easy: 🍕 Humble Pie will be selling pizza by the slice at the Community Center ☀️ Free dinner and childcare for kids (up to 5th grade) is available at LES for families who pre-register: bit.ly/april7childcare 🎁 And yes—we’ve got some great giveaways for those who attend! Come sit with us. Bring a friend. Bring your questions. (You’ll be glad you did.) #larnedpride #bettertogether #protectyoungeyes 📍 RSVP for the presentation: bit.ly/april7presentation

Congratulations to Brennon Stahlecker, the LHS JAG-K Student of the Month! 🎉 💬 "Brennon brings curiosity and determination to class and is always eager to learn and engage in discussions. His thoughtful questions and ability to work with his peers set a great example for others. It’s a pleasure to have him in class!" – Mr. Upson 💬 "A class with Brennon in it will never be boring. He is naturally funny and inquisitive, but is still respectful. He’s shown that he genuinely cares about others and takes responsibility when needed. I wish I had more students like him." – Mrs. Baldwin 💬 "I love seeing Brennon interact with his peers and his involvement in school activities. As many may know, Brennon is always up for a fun time. As his mom and a teacher at the school, it's neat seeing how he interacts with his peers and his school spirit. Additionally, seeing him get excited about his and his teammates' 2nd place finish at State and trip to Nationals, makes me even more thankful for JAG and its impact on him." – Mrs. Stahlecker Way to go, Brennon! 👏 #larnedpride
