Last Friday, our Kindergarten classes hosted Donuts with Grownups, and it was such a special morning! Parents, grandparents, and other loving grownups joined our little learners to enjoy donuts and explore fun math, reading, and writing activities they can try at home. ✏️📚➕
It was a wonderful event full of learning, laughter, and lots of smiles.

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!
Head over to the LES Facebook page to see the amazing moments we captured!”
