Congratulations to the 8th grade girls for taking 2nd place in CKL tournament and for boys finishing in top 4!
LES held Reindeer Games on Friday. This consisted of a friendly game of Reindeer in my Pocket, Guess the Reindeer tune, which the kids loved participating in, and we closed out our morning collab meeting with a good game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. The winner was Mrs. Sleder! Our staff and students have been working so hard to be their best on their Winter assessments!
