Mrs. Fairchild's 1st graders turned into book bakers today! Wearing aprons and baker caps, they explored a selection of fiction, nonfiction, fantasy, and biography books. Each student picked their favorite of each genre, drew a picture on a cupcake-shaped paper, and placed it in their bakery box. Of course, for an extra treat, they enjoyed real cupcakes after lunch! What a fun way to learn about different genres! 📚🧁 #larnedpride #lesfamily #learningisfun
🌽The Kansas Corn STEM Program paid us a visit today at LES, diving deep into the world of corn.

School nurses - they're more than just the ones who hand out cough drops, fix tummy aches, and apply band-aids. They're the caring hearts behind the scenes, ensuring each student in USD 495 receives essential vision, hearing, and dental screenings.
These screenings, following guidelines put in place by the State of Kansas, play a vital role in a child's development. The sooner we detect any vision, hearing, or dental issues, the faster we can provide the support they need. That's a big win for their social, mental, and physical health.
Families might hear from our school nurses if there's a concern about their child's screening results. Please remember, while these screenings offer valuable insights, they aren’t a substitute for a thorough assessment by specialized healthcare professionals.
Thank you, Nurse Cindi and Nurse Amie, for being there to give our students the best possible start, in every way you can. #larnedpride
