Today we celebrate the amazing people who keep our technology running smoothly and our classrooms connected. A huge thank you to Mr. Brock for all the behind-the-scenes work he does at LES—from fixing computers to making sure our systems are ready for learning every day.
Your dedication, patience, and tech wizardry make a big difference for students and staff alike. We appreciate you more than you know! 💻🛠️👏
After our students pulled sweet potatoes from the school garden, Mrs. Pakozdy baked them into delicious cookies. We compared cookies made with our very own purple sweet potatoes to traditional sweet potato cookies.—and the taste test was a hit! 💜 #GardenToTable #HandsOnLearning #LionsEmpoweredToSucceed
As an active component for their unit on states of matter, chemical and physical changes, and mixtures/solutions, our 5th graders put their learning into action by making pancakes on Friday! 👩🔬👨🍳
What better way to explore real-life science than through a tasty hands-on activity? Students observed how ingredients change form and interact — and got to enjoy the delicious results!
Way to go, scientists and chefs! 🧪🥞
On Friday, September 12, 2025, Mrs. Cassell’s and Mrs. Pakozdy's classes got their hands dirty and experienced the joy of planting carrot and beet seeds! 🧑🌾
Students learned firsthand how a garden begins and what it takes to grow something from the ground up. With a little patience and care, these veggies will be ready in about 57–58 days — and we can’t wait to see the results! 🥕❤️
Stay tuned for garden updates!
