Kody and Rich Epp came all the way to LHS from Colby, KS yesterday to visit Mrs. Munden's Audio/Video class. The Epp's have owned and operated Open Spaces Sports, a high school sports broadcasting and live streaming service, since 2009. They shared with our students a wealth of information regarding sales, let them check out all of their equipment, helpful tips for making yourself known and having confidence, and the importance of having drive and dedication when it comes to your work. Rich, having 53 years of experience, and Kody with almost 13 years, are the perfect example of "Love what you do and you won't work a day in your life"! Thank you so much for visiting with our students! #larnedpride

The 5th grade book club recently wrapped up reading "The Amelia Six" and the students have been presenting their projects over the book. Mrs. Upson contacted Kristin Gray (the author) via email and set up a 15 minute Zoom session for the book club to discuss writing a book, how Kristin came up with the idea for "The Amelia Six" and any other questions they may have for her. The students wrote down their questions before Spring Break so they would be prepared for the Zoom interview. The kids had really been looking forward to meeting Kristin Gray and they asked some really great questions! #lesfamily #learningisfun #larnedpride
