World Kindness Day was celebrated on November 13, 2025, across the U.S.
Holding the door open, offering a compliment, paying for someone's coffee, or handing someone a flower just because you can, World Kindness Day celebrates acts of kindness big and small. At LES, we celebrated by sending cards from our students and staff to our sister school, Chester Park Complex, after a traumatic event occurred there recently.

📚 Book Buddies at LES! 📚
Last week, our 4th graders had an amazing time with their 1st grade book buddies!
The older students practiced reading fluency and leadership skills while sharing stories with their younger friends. Meanwhile, the 1st graders were all smiles as they listened and explored pictures together.
It was a wonderful reminder that reading brings us all closer—and that learning can be fun at every age! 💙
