We started off Spring Break by celebrating a great group of Upstander award recipients! The LHS PTO wants to recognize those students who exemplify the true spirit of an Upstander – those who demonstrate kindness, empathy, and courage in supporting others and standing up for what's right. Congratulations to Arianna Hemken, Kinley Atteberry, Alexis Stewart, Slade Sundahl, David Colglazier, and Jocelyn Clawson (not pictured) for their well-deserved Upstander Awards! #larnedpride #besttribeever
Here's a few good news calls home to start Spring Break!
Happy 100th Day of Pre-K! It's time to celebrate, because 100 years old never looked so good! 🎉 Our littlest learners had a blast today stacking 100 cups, playing "Would You Rather" with 100 things, crafting 100 day crowns, and imagining what they'd do with $100! #larnedpride #lesfamily #learningisfun
Calling all young track stars! 🏃♀️✨ Join the Larned Kids Track & Field Club – where youth aged 1st through 6th grade learn, grow, and excel in track and field! For sign-ups and more info, check out their Facebook page, 'Larned Kids Track and Field Club,' or contact Shane Weiszbrod. #larnedpride
Our 1st graders had a blast today with a visit from the 'Picture Lady' courtesy of Prairie Arts Unlimited! 🎨 Big shoutout to Prairie Arts for their continuous support in bringing creativity to our students' lives! And guess who made a surprise appearance? Shannon's son, Luke Fischer! The students loved it! #larnedpride #lesfamily #bettertogether
It's almost Spring Break! Just a reminder, there will be no school March 8th - March 15th. We will see you back at school on March 18th! #larnedpride
🤼♂️🥇👏 LMS CKL Wrestling Results are in! Congrats to our wrestlers: Max Henderson (3rd, 75lbs), Kobe Lang (Undefeated League Champion, 115lbs), Grayson Maxwell (3rd, 120lbs), Asher Alexander (3rd, 127lbs), Jax Johnson (4th, 134lbs), and Calvin Keith (League Champion, 141lbs)! On the girls' side, Miranda Nolde placed 3rd, and Brileigh Stahlecker and Paisley Weiszbrod both took 2nd. Overall, LMS Wrestling took 5th place! 🥳
Coach Upson commends their dedication, saying, 'Great job, great team, proud of their effort and work ethic. They all did everything asked of them, and were the most coachable group I have ever worked with. The future looks bright for the Larned Wrestling Program as they move on! I can't express the importance of our wrestling club - these kids came in with a solid base and we really just built off of that. Our club coaches do an excellent job and don't get enough credit for the time and work they do. Without their dedication, achievements like these wouldn't be possible.' 💪 #larnedpride
LMS hosted the CKL Music Festival yesterday! Band and choir scored II in large group. Olivia Holt, Grayson Maxwell, and Addison Snodgrass earned I ratings for their piano solos, and Olivia and Grayson also scored I on trumpet solos! Olivia Holt got a II for her vocal solo. Congratulations to all performers on a job well done! #larnedpride
When it comes to Mrs. McGurk, one thing's for sure - she's a good sport! First grade won last week's Book Fair Coin Drive, and as their reward, a lucky few students got to turn their principal into an ice cream sundae! 🍦🎉 #larnedpride #lesfamily
These lucky LHS art students went to Art Day at Sterling College today! 🎨 They attended multiple workshops and learned about the art programs offered at the college. Thank you Mrs. Pontius for taking them - sounds like they had a great time! #larnedpride #besttribeever #learningisfun
Celebrating sweet victory with Mr. Sleder's 5th grade class! They crushed it and earned themselves a well-deserved ice cream float/sundae party after their cereal bowl WIN! This class alone brought an impressive 137 boxes. Way to go! #larnedpride #lesfamily
