Sign Up, Move Up: LES has purchased yard signs that we will place in the grass near the drop off line to recognize our 5th grade students as they move up to middle school. We invite all of our 5th grade families to come help their child decorate their sign on May 14th from 5:15-6:15 PM in our cafeteria! We have plenty of paint, but feel free to bring any extras you may want to add - pictures, etc. The signs are 19"x14". #larnedpride #lesfamily #bettertogether

OAA (Over Actors Anonymous) had a blast at Barton Community College's production at the Wolf Hotel in Ellinwood last night! 🎭 #larnedpride
Our high school JAG class just wrapped up an inspiring project called "Local Leaders"! 🏛️ Students researched and identified key figures from various sectors of our community, including PCCA CFO Kim Barnes, Mayor William Nusser, Police Chief Lance Duft, among 30 other local leaders.
Each student then chose a leader to study further, creating insightful slideshows to share with their classmates. (Excited we were able to catch two very special guests while they were in the classroom: Brent Hemken, BOE President, and Superintendent Bryce Wachs!)
A big shoutout to Mr. Hagerman and all the JAG students for highlighting the importance of community engagement and leadership. 👏 #larnedpride #bettertogether #besttribeever
