Larsen Elementary recently celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday with a very Seussical celebration.  Each class, Kindergarten through 6th grade memorized a Dr. Seuss poem and recited it in front of the entire student body during a special assembly held that morning.  Everyone did a wonderful job!

The rest of the school day was filled with more Dr. Seuss stories and reading fun.  Dr. Seuss would be proud of our Larsen Leopards!!  WAY TO GO LEOPARDS!!!

Upon completion of the 10 week DARE program the 5th grade held graduation.  There were 79 students who successfully completed all of the requirements of DARE, including writing a DARE essay. The students favored the audience with three songs and two students from each class were chosen to read their essay.  Our DARE officer, Officer DeWitt made DARE fun!  Thank you Officer DeWitt and parents!  WAY TO GO LEOPARDS!!

Friday, January 27th Larsen Elementary held their annual Dad’s and Donuts activity before school started from 7:30 a.m. to 8:25 a.m.  Students enjoyed reading a book from the PTA, who had given books to all of the students to read. Students chose to bring their dad, uncle, grandpa, mom, or other special person with them to the fun event.  Delicious, warm donuts were served to everyone. Thank you Larsen PTA and parents for supporting your child’s reading! Way To Go Leopards!!

Larsen 4th graders traveled back in time to the 1850s.  Dressed as pioneers, they participated in pioneer games, cooking, and crafts.  The highlight of the day was dancing the Virginia Reel and the Texas Star for and with their parents.  Way To Go Leopards!!!

2nd grade students loved their visit to Utah's Kennecott Bingham Copper Canyon Mine in Bingham UT. The 2nd graders were completely amazed at how big the mine actually was.  The huge mine is 2-3/4 miles across at the top and 3/4 of a mile deep. You could stack two Sears Towers on top of each other and still not reach the top of the mine.
