Don't Forget! We rescheduled 5th grade Sign Up, Move Up! and Early Ed Touch a Truck for tonight, Tuesday, May 16th.
Sign Up, Move Up: LES has purchased yard signs that we will place in the grass near the drop off line to recognize our 5th grade students as they move up to middle school. We invite all of you to come help your child decorate their sign on May 16th from 5-6 PM in our cafeteria! We have plenty of paint, but feel free to bring any extras you may want to add - pictures, etc. The signs are 19"x14".
Touch A Truck: Birth to age 5 children are able to come and explore a variety of work trucks and other vehicles, ask questions, and they may even be able to honk the horn! We will also have a food truck or two, so come hungry! Bring the whole family, Tuesday, May 16th from 6-7 PM at LES.
See you tonight! #lesfamily #larnedpride
Our 3rd graders hosted Market Day last Friday! They each decided what they were going to sell, and took turns visiting each "store". This was such a great way to see each student's creativity shine through and was also a great lesson on buying and selling goods. A favorite day at LES! #lesfamily #larnedpride
