Honoring Our Heroes!
Our LES fourth graders did an outstanding job performing in our Veterans Day program! Through their heartfelt performance, they honored the brave men and women who have served our country and reminded us of the sacrifices made for our freedom. We are so proud of our students and the respect and gratitude they showed to our veterans!
We invite our community to visit our special Veterans Day display on the grass outside of LES! This meaningful tribute is our way of recognizing and thanking the heroes who have served our great nation.
To all veterans, past and present, THANK YOU for your service, sacrifice, and dedication! We are forever grateful!

Good morning! The LES Student Council Canned Food Drive starts on Monday! We will be hosting a canned food drive from November 2-17. All non-perishable items will be donated to families right here in our own school. This is a hallway competition! Students will bring their items to class each day. Last year we collected 843 canned goods. We would like to set a school-wide goal of collecting 1,000 cans! If we can reach that goal, the whole school will participate in a 5-minute dance party on November 20th. The winning hallway will receive a Popsicle and Pajama Day on November 20th!
