LHS seniors stepped into the #RealWorld today, thanks to a life skills program made possible by the United Way! The students tackled essential health decisions with Pawnee Valley Community Hospital, learned car maintenance basics from Chromotize, and discovered the dos and don’ts of renting with United Way. Additionally, the Family Crisis Center and the Center for Counseling offered insights into healthy relationships and mental well-being. A big thank you to our community partners for equipping our graduates with the skills needed for the journey ahead! 🎓🌍 #larnedpride #besttribeever #bettertogether

No 6th grade award assembly at LMS today due to the late start. We will postpone to next week.

USD 495 will have a 2-hour delay of school today. With the 2-hour delay there will be no AM Preschool and breakfast will not be served. This delay will provide additional travel time this morning and allow our crews to better prepare our buildings for student and staff arrivals. Student safety is always our top priority and we appreciate your support.

Mrs. Stahlecker's students dive into budgeting with The Bean Game! 🌱 Starting with 20 beans as income, they make tough choices on spending. Then, reality hits: a job loss causes the loss of 7 beans. Can they adapt? Life throws curveballs, like unexpected ER visits without insurance, teaching valuable lessons on financial planning. #besttribeever #larnedpride #learningisfun
