Larsen Ninja Warrior
Larsen students participated in a fun "Ninja Warrior" course for being such great readers! Our 5th grade teachers put together a course that required agility, speed and strength. Students had to jump through hoops, army crawl under ropes, hippity hop to the river, jump over the river and then scooter to the finish line. Mrs. Thomas and Ms. Berns even completed the course. Larsen has some mighty warriors but even better readers! Keep up the good work.

Author Jason Wright Visits Larsen
Larsen Elementary had a visit from Jason Wright, author of "The Christmas Jars", and "Penny's Christmas Jar Miracle". He spoke with students about becoming an author, as well as sharing the story of Penny and her Christmas Jar and encouraging students to start a jar of their own with their families. Christmas Jars are jars full of spare change that are donated to families at Christmas time. Mr. Wright also met with fifth grade students to teach them more about writing and becoming authors.
