Mrs. Eckhardt was awarded Teacher of the Year for Larsen Elementary last night at the district board meeting. The following is what was read about her during the meeting:

“Angela creates a classroom environment where her students love to be with many hands-on activities for her students to learn and participate. She is a leader and advocate for students. Angela has provided an enriching 4H program for many years and has taught an Underwater Robotics club that competes. She is an incredible leader and advocate for students and staff.”

There will be a Getaway Today brochure coming home within the next week.  Getaway Today supports the Nebo Foundation,  which in turn,  provides grants to our schools.  If your planning a fun vacation look at their awesome prices and help support the Nebo Foundation. Thank you Getaway Today for all your support to our school district.

End of year testing has begun at Larsen Elementary!  We just wanted to give a few ideas that will help your students do their best on their testing:

*Each student should get plenty of sleep so they are well rested and ready to start the testing process. 

*Make sure that your child gets a balanced breakfast each morning.

*Please have your student arrive at school on time.

Thanks for all your help in making this testing process successful for your students!

Recently our district applied to earn the Energy Star Certification.  We sent in Energy Star applications for 44 of our facilities and ALL 44 qualified.  This is an amazing feat because in order to qualify a building must score in the top 75 percentile compared to other schools around the nation.  Our district average score was 99, with many schools scoring a perfect 100.

We wanted to remind all 5th grade parents that D.A.R.E. graduation is being held tomorrow, March 27th at 2:00 PM in the lunchroom.  A special thanks to Officer Dewitt for all his hard work in helping our students stay drug free!  Hope to see all you 5th grade parents there
