Larsen 5th Graders are helping bring the holiday spirit to our school by covering our windows with beautiful stained glass pictures.  This has been a holiday tradition for them for many years.  The windows are made by tracing a design on black contruction paper, cutting out some of the areas and adding tissue paper to make a colorful Christmas window.  We love the way it makes our school look during December!  Make sure when you drive by Larsen that you look them.  Thank you 5th Grade!

Parents,

This is a great program for those who have students preschool age and who will be attending kindergarten next year.  This program is effective in preparing students for kindergarten.

4-H Christmas Around the World Registration begins this morning (November 19, 2014) at 7:00 am.  Please use the following link to get a "ticket" for the event.  This is a special 4-H club that runs EVERY DAY for a ONE WEEK SESSION and features crafts, food, games and more from different countries around the world.  The cost for this session is $5.00, which needs to be paid in the office.  Please choose Session 1 (Dec 1-5) or Session 2 (Dec 8-12).  The program to register is different than we have used before, but we think you will like the change.

Larsen Student Council collected teddy bears and other stuffed animals to donate to Primary Childrens Hospital this week.  All together they collected 525 new and gently used stuffed animals for Project Teddy Bear.  These will be given to children that are sick and going through some rough times.  Thanks to everyone who donated to a great cause. We have the best parents and students!!

Mrs. Eckhardts afternoon Kindergarten class had a special visitor come.  Specialist Roberts, who's daughter Madaya is in that class, came and talked about what it is like serving in the Army.  He has served in Texas and on two different tours in Iraq. He brought his uniform, helmet and pictures showing the places he had been protecting. Specialist Roberts told a story of a little boy that was kindergarten age that he helped.  We at Larsen Elementary want to thank Specialist Roberts for his service and for visiting our school!!!
