Our LES students had a blast at the Book Fair Assembly, getting excited for a week full of reading fun!

💬 "Kaylyn is such a joy to have in my classroom. She helps keep me sane!!! She is so creative, and I absolutely love her out-of-the-box ideas. While I am excited for her to graduate, I will truly miss her in the art room next year!" – Mrs. Pontius

Many thanks to the Pawnee Valley Community Hospital Auxiliary for spending the morning with us at LES for Hi5 Friday! The kids were absolutely fascinated with the kaleidoscopes you brought to share with them. What a fun tool to use to share with our students about understanding that we all have different points of view and perspectives based on our individual experiences. Such a fun morning! #larnedpride #lesfamily #bettertogether
