Our 5th graders took an exciting trip to LMS today to explore the school they will be attending next year! They toured the building, learned about new classes and opportunities, and got a sneak peek at what middle school life will look like. 🏫🚀
We are so proud of how they represented LES, and we know they are going to shine as future LMS students! 💙💛
5th graders took Science outside to measure shadow lengths one day and did a gallery walk on shadows the next!
