LES Parents/Guardians, As we all are aware of, Halloween is next Saturday. Unfortunately, due to restrictions stemming from COVID-19 we will be unable to allow our students to celebrate the holiday here at school by putting on costumes, having classroom parties, or conducting a parade. While that fact saddens me, I believe that we can offer a minor concession. I would like to offer the opportunity for the students to wear their "Halloween-themed" shirts to school on Tuesday (A-group) and Thursday (B-group) of next week! We will snap a few pictures within the building and post them on our website and Facebook pages. Keep in mind that these shirts should be school appropriate. If your child's shirt is deemed inappropriate, based on our district handbook, we will call home in order for a replacement shirt to be brought to school. Remember that your child should not wear or bring a costume to school on those days. Your student should not wear any Halloween masks, face paint, or head dress/wear on those days either. Thank you!

LES Staff decked out in red to represent living DRUG FREE!

Red Ribbon has come to a close and we had a great week of dressing up and learning to say “NO to drugs”. We held a door decorating contest and the winners are Mrs. Moore first place, Mrs. Davis second place, Mrs. Arnold third place, and Mr. Richter Honorable Mention. Thank LES for a GREAT week!

Tomorrow is the last day of Red Ribbon Week, wear as much red as you can tomorrow!

So happy to celebrate Dictionary Day thanks to the Lebanon Rotary Club, Mary Renfro's family and the Delta Kappa Gamma teacher's sorority. They have been presenting dictionaries to each of our third graders for many years.
