How lucky are you we to have our own superheroes?! Each month, we would like to recognize a staff member from Larned Elementary School and highlight their achievements! Nominations are open to be submitted by students and fellow staff members at LES to select one certified staff member and one classified staff member as their Superhero Staff Member of the Month! Our winners for August are Miss Piper (classified) for going to infinity & beyond! Or, as most of us usually say, this staff member goes above and beyond his/her job description and is always willing to help others. She has switched roles this year to Library Aide and has done a wonderful job. Admin have gotten several compliments from parents saying their child came home sharing about things they learned in library. She is a team player and willing to help wherever it is needed. Mrs. Fleske (certified) shows kindness that is stronger than kryptonite! This staff member shows compassion to not only the students but also to other staff members as well. Mrs. Fleske is a go-getter. You can hear her laugh from across the building which always brings a smile to your face. She has built strong connections with her students and they love being in her class. Congratulations, ladies! Thank you for everything you do for USD 495! #lesfamily #larnedpride
