There was a huge turnout of staff from Larned Correctional Facility as they hosted Hi5 Friday at LES this morning. So many smiles, laughs and of course high fives!

#whyapply day was a hit! Students and staff played trivia all day. Right before each class was about to move to passing period, Dr. Wasinger would announce the post-secondary trivia questions over the school intercom with answers to be brought to her office while students moved on to their next class. She said she had an overwhelming amount of people each time! We had so many prizes donated thanks to local community colleges, so if they answered correctly - they won the prize of their choosing! What a FUN way to get excited about your options! #larnedpride #besttribeever #applykansas
Tomorrow, Friday, September 22nd is #whyapply day at Larned High School! We are encouraging all staff of USD 495 and community members to represent their college or career by wearing a T-shirt tomorrow with us. We have been in touch with area colleges, community colleges, cosmetology schools, etc. and several of them have donated prizes for us to give away tomorrow as we do post-secondary trivia throughout the day. We are looking forward to getting our students excited for whatever they may choose to do after leaving Larned High School. #larnedpride #applykansas
If you choose to dress up with us tomorrow, tag us on social media, so that we are able to share it! #bettertogether

What a fun way to learn about scale factors! Mrs. Upson's 7th grade math class brought candy wrappers to school last week. They had to measure their wrapper, decide how much bigger they wanted their candy to be, and then they did the math. (Nutrition facts and all!) After that, they got to work and created their wrappers on a much larger scale! #larnedpride
LES wants to thank our PTO for donating popcicles and Doerrs for donating the pop-its that our students and staff handed out at the Homecoming Parade. The rain didn't stop the fun!
