Do your best, be your best! 🌟 At Fort Larned Elementary School, our Behavior Expectation Matrix guides our students to "Act Responsible," "Be Safe," and "Care for Self/Others." We celebrate outstanding students every month as our Student of the Month, recognizing their commitment to these values.
Congratulations to these students who were named Student of the Month before the school year ended! We're so incredibly proud of ALL students who received this recognition throughout the 2023-24 school year. #larnedpride #lesfamily

All kids aged 1-18 eat for FREE! Parents, don't forget to bring your child(ren) the first time you pick up meals to complete required paperwork, and you will then need to bring your card with the number of children from there on out when picking up your meals.

Over 21 days, our students embraced kindness, learned about empathy, and attached personal letters to each blanket.
