We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our amazing community for their continued support and engagement with our students. We're super grateful for our partnership with you all! 🍬🍭
The rest of the day was packed with pumpkin-themed activities, from cheerleaders painting and carving pumpkins to the LES library hosting a pumpkin coloring contest.

Mrs. Fairchild's 1st graders turned into book bakers today! Wearing aprons and baker caps, they explored a selection of fiction, nonfiction, fantasy, and biography books. Each student picked their favorite of each genre, drew a picture on a cupcake-shaped paper, and placed it in their bakery box. Of course, for an extra treat, they enjoyed real cupcakes after lunch! What a fun way to learn about different genres! 📚🧁 #larnedpride #lesfamily #learningisfun
