Good evening, this message is to clarify some confusion about the junior high testing. Students who are remote learners are not required to take the test this year. We understand there are many reasons families have chosen remote learning and would not add that stress to them. As stated in a previous post we hope they will attend but in no way are requiring remote students to attend for testing. Have a great rest of the week!

Check out what happens when you combine STEM and music! The 4th graders are creating original songs and playing them using glass jars with varying amounts of colored water and spoons. Stay tuned next week for a video showcasing their creative abilities.

Under the direction of Mrs. Derber, many Jr. and Sr. High school students have spent the past month following the 2021 March Mammal Madness competition put on by Arizona State University. Inspired by (but in no way affiliated with or representing) the NCAA College Basketball March Madness Championship Tournament, March Mammal Madness is an annual tournament of "simulated" combat competition among animals. Students enjoyed selecting their winning animal by researching and completing a bracket, watching the competition recaps after the battles, and for several, earning their bragging rights for the winning animal, the Red Kangaroo.

District #9 Families, Meal pick-up is today from 8:45-10:15 AM at LHS and LES. We will also have a meal pick up at Summerfield Firehouse from 5:00-6:00 PM. Feel free to contact the school cafeteria if you have specific questions. Thank you. Have a great day!
