LES wanted to recognize parents and guardians for their assistance in getting students to school and on time. We put 179 students on the wheel selector for having less than 4 absences. Over zoom with the students these four families were selected as our winners. They received a Dillons gift card. Thank you families for your continued support and partnership. On a side note, we have 30 students sitting with perfect attendance this semester! Awesome job!

Introducing our JAG-K Student of the Month, Ally Belt!
I've had Ally in class the past three years and it's been fun to watch her make strides toward her future. She has set herself up to be successful in the post secondary world and I'm looking forward to seeing where life takes her. I'm confident that she will excel at whatever she decides to do. -Mr. Keith
Ally is great! It has been a joy getting to know her this year. She is kind to everyone, which says a lot about her character. -Mrs. Stahlecker
Ally is such an awesome kid! I would not have my sanity without her as my T.A. during my junior high class! She always jumps in where needed and brings fun and positivity to the art room. She is patient with other students and is an excellent role model for them. -Mrs. Pontius
Ally is a fantastic student and leader in our JAG-K program. She has the ability to be strict when necessary and laid back when she needs to be. She adds a fun atmosphere to the class and our leadership team. I am so grateful to have Ally as our Larned JAG-K Secretary. -James Kingsbury, JAG-K State Vice President
