Today, Dr. Ben Proctor, Deputy Commissioner for The Division of Learning Services at the Kansas Department of Education (KSDE), met with the LHS Student Advisory Council. In just their second meeting, the council's insights have the potential to reach far beyond the walls at LHS, extending their influence to the state capitol in Topeka and key figures within the State education department.
During the meeting, students were presented with a series of thought-provoking questions. They discussed the relationship between KSDE and the 286 schools across Kansas, shed light on the crucial role that teachers play in shaping the educational experience of students, and the students' perspectives on State Assessment testing.
Dr. Proctor's mission to engage with stakeholders across the state emphasizes KSDE's commitment to guiding every child in Kansas toward success. The LHS Student Advisory Council is the first group of students to share their experiences directly with Dr. Proctor, making their feedback invaluable.
Today’s meeting proves the true value of amplifying student voices in the ongoing conversation about education here at home and throughout our entire state. Thank you to both Dr. Proctor and the students in our advisory council for your time and insights. #larnedpride #besttribeever #bettertogether

Yesterday was a big day filled with Halloween fun across the district! The Trunk or Treat event, sponsored by LES PTO, had an incredible turnout. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our amazing community for their continued support and engagement with our students. We're super grateful for our partnership with you all! 🍬🍭
The rest of the day was packed with pumpkin-themed activities, from cheerleaders painting and carving pumpkins to the LES library hosting a pumpkin coloring contest. Mr. Gladow's 5th graders had a blast with spooky stories around their classroom campfire. Our classrooms transformed into Halloween party central, and our staff got in on the costume action too! 🎉👻
Thanks again to all who made it an unforgettable Halloween throughout USD 495! 🕷🎃
