We hope Larsen families are planning on attending our skate night at Classic Skating on Monday, November 18th from 5:30-8:30 PM.
Larsen students were so excited to have Cosmo Cougar and some athletes from BYU come and give an assembly on being COUGAR STRONG. The athletes talked to the kids about avoiding harmful substances, developing a lifelong love of learning, and treating others with kindness and respect among many other things. Our own Mr. Jensen even made a basket as he jumped from a trampoline. Thank you BYU Cougars and Cosmo for the fun assembly!
Larsen Elementary was honored to have local veterans come to our school and speak about America and what freedom means to them. They talked about how freedom is not free and how many people had sacrificed their lives so that we can free. They performed a flag ceremony also and showed such respect to our flag. Students wrote cards and colored pictures to give to the veterans to show their appreciation for their sacrifices. Larsen Elementary salutes our veterans and appreciates all they have done for us and the United States of America!
