May has been full of excitement at LES! From Ag Day and Glow Day to KinderU and field trips, we've had a busy month. We also celebrated with a surprise baby shower for Mrs. Erway! It’s been the best time of learning and celebrating milestones. #larnedpride #lesfamily #bettertogether
🎨 One last family night at LES with our 5th graders! Together with their families, they decorated personalized yard signs that will proudly be displayed in front of our school until the last day. Such a fun way to celebrate their journey at LES! #larnedpride #lesfamily #bettertogether
🎓 Today was the last day of traditional school for our seniors, and they made it truly memorable. During their final seminar, many chose to present "Indian Difference Maker" awards to the teachers who shaped their educational journey—not just at LHS, but also at their middle and elementary schools. This gesture speaks volumes about the lasting impact our educators have on their students. #larnedpride
Amazing things happening at LES! #goodnewscallhome

Wednesday was a productive day for Larned Middle School students during Community Service Day! A big shout-out to our LMS staff and the USD 495 Transportation Department for organizing this meaningful event and ensuring everything ran smoothly. It was all about giving back to our community who supports us throughout the school year!
From Fort Larned National Historic Site to the Pawnee County Humane Society, our 6th - 8th graders made a positive impact in various locations around Larned and Pawnee Rock. They also helped out the City of Larned crew and took care of tasks for USD 495 such as washing school buses, cleaning gym bleachers, and assisting with general school maintenance. Everyone's efforts truly made a difference! Way to go LMS! #larnedpride #bettertogether
