Orange Spot Alert! 🌟 Mrs. Hagerman is proud to nominate Allisa Spain for an Orange Spot Recognition! Allisa worked tirelessly this summer to secure a grant that brought her vision for a cutting-edge staff recruitment campaign to life. Her project featured professional videography, photography, and state-of-the-art technology so impressive that other recruiters gathered around the Fort Larned table to learn how we pulled it off! Here’s to many more successful events like today, thanks to Allisa’s innovation and hard work. Larned proud is an understatement!

Football season has wrapped up, so the gates at the outdoor athletic facility are closed except for the northeast entrance by the Indian statue. Community members are always welcome to walk or use the track through that entrance until track season starts in the spring. Thanks for understanding! #larnedpride

A fan favorite returns! 🎅 Check out these festive boards Mr. Hewson’s students made in class. We’re pretty sure Santa is going to approve. #larnedpride
