Finishing up the year with our final Superhero staff member of the month awards! These recipients were nominated by the students and fellow staff members at LES. Our winners for May are Mrs. Erway, Mrs. Ceniceros and Mrs. Converse! Mrs. Erway 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. By the looks of her nominations, Alysa is known for being kind and having fun. Other students mention that she looks out for them and always shows love to all. Mrs. Ceniceros goes to infinity and 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. Amanda is always willing to help, she has the kindest heart and has taken on so many roles this year all while keeping a smile on her face. Mrs. Converse is the Guardian of the Galaxy! This staff member's super powers include always looking out for others and being the gravity that holds the galaxy together! Sheila has a hug ready for everyone each day as they walk through the doors. She is always a helper and always shows kindness. If you need a friend or someone to lean on, Mrs. Converse is your girl! Thank you all for everything you do for USD 495! #lesfamily #larnedpride
Do your best, be your best! So proud of these students for receiving student of the month awards! #lesfamily #larnedpride
So much to celebrate this morning at LES! First up, let's cheer on these kiddos for having great attendance this year. Our bicycle winners had PERFECT attendance for the year! Way to go!

Thank you to the Pawnee County Coop for helping us celebrate the end of the school year with ice cream sandwiches on the playground today!

Larned High School had the pleasure of welcoming Jerry Moran into our school today. It was an honor to showcase our school's facilities, programs, and achievements. Thank you, Senator Moran, for taking the time to visit and for your unwavering support for education. #larnedpride
Larned’s local Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) chapter recently donated a number of American flags to Larned Elementary School. Upon their arrival to purchase the flags at Doerrs, the store “paid it forward” and generously donated the flags to their chapter to gift to our school. To mark the occasion on Wednesday, May 17th, DAR, Mrs. McGurk, and a group of fifth grade students joined together to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing the National Anthem. The addition of these new flags creates a perfect opportunity to teach our students about the meaning behind the flag and remind them of the sacrifices that are made by brave men and women to ensure our freedoms are protected. USD 495 would like to offer our heartfelt gratitude to DAR and Doerrs and we are truly honored to have the red, white, and blue on display in our hallways, reminding us of unity and pride every time we walk by them. #larnedpride #lesfamily #bettertogether
It was a full house to celebrate our final Rockstar Teacher at Larned High School for the 2022-2023 school year! Each month, students and fellow staff members submit a nomination for the Rockstar Teacher award. We love to recognize these teachers and highlight their achievements. A big congratulations to Mr. Leroy for being our May Rockstar! Whether it's math questions or not even school related, it was said many times that you are always happy to help. The students said you have a way of making your classroom a fun, laid-back environment and teach in a way that makes them want to learn math. Way to go, Leroy! #larnedpride

A most heartfelt thanks goes out to all of those who contributed to our very first Adopt A Senior program! Graduating seniors were able to enjoy a cake and punch reception following their practice this morning sponsored by Farmers Bank. During the reception, they all opened their gifts and it truly was special to see them all light up when they saw that they were thought of. Thanks again! #larnedpride #bettertogether
(Any senior who missed the reception, please pick up your gift with Mrs. Reece in the office.)
Our future's so bright we have to wear shades!
