We had a great morning at LMS during our Board Work Session! 🎉 The Board heard from Mr. Upson’s drone class, Mrs. Hagerman’s StuCo members, and Mr. Sundahl.
Isaac showed off his drone skills, and our 6th grade StuCo members played a fun game with the Board and Superintendent. The Board also toured the building and even snuck into a few classrooms. 🏫
Thank you, LMS, for hosting! 🙌 #larnedpride

Join us in congratulating Adam Apley as our District Staff Member of the Month!
Each month, students and staff vote for their building’s staff member of the month, and then an external voting panel of community members selects the overall district winner. This month, Adam Apley was chosen for his dedication to students and the positive impact he brings to the classroom.
Adam is known for putting students first, creating a fun yet practical learning environment where each student feels valued. One student said, “He’s strict but also kind and goofy, and it’s nice to have a teacher like that – it boosts the day.” His classes provide students with skills they can use in the future, especially those pursuing careers in welding, a passion many students discovered through Adam’s influence.
In addition to this honor, Adam was also recognized by Board Member Tyson Steffen for the work he and his students did to improve the entrance to our outdoor athletic facility. Adam’s impact is felt far and wide, and we’re so grateful for all he does.
Congratulations, Adam! 🎉 #larnedpride
