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
