We have great readers at Larsen Elementary!  This months reading reward was called Larsen Ninja Warriors.  Our 5th grade team put an obstacle course together that students had to run, jump, skip, bounce, hula hoop, crab walk and slide their way through.  Those students who had read enough minutes were chosen to represent their grade and even a few teachers participated in the course.  Look on our Facebook page to watch a video of students competing against each other.

Larsen 1st graders celebrated 120 days of school this week.  They wrote to 120, made a crown, performed the chicken dance, played games and ate cake.  They also took a picture and turned it into what they would look like when they were 120 years old. It was a busy, fun filled day to be a 1st grader here at Larsen.  Thank you teachers for all your hard work to make it a great!

Sandra Stokes was awarded the Crystal Apple Award for excellence in teaching.  This award is sponsored by Craig Harvey and the Horace Mann Insurance Company.  

This is just a reminder that Wednesday, February 24 is a half day of school.  Students will be let out at 12:00 PM.  Afternoon Kindergarten will be coming in the morning also and they will all be excused at the same time.  If you have any questions call the school.  Thanks!

This is just a reminder about this weeks "Penny Wars". The object is to get the most points per grade level.  You get a point for every penny put in the grade level jar.  If they bring a nickel, dime or quarter they get to put that in another grades jar and it subtracts from their points (-5,-10, -25).  If they bring bills then those count as points for their class also.

THe money will go towards supplies for the school. If you have any questions you can email the following PTA members:

Larsen's Fourth Grade classes had an exciting day devoted to the Pioneers! We made butter and read stories about pioneer children, learned how to do pioneer weaving, and played different pioneer games! We even got to eat some delicious corn bread. We ended the day performing the Virginia Reel and the Texas Star for our parents... Little did they know they would get to dance with us, too!

Valentines Day was in full swing here at Larsen Elementary.  The students worked hard decorating their Valentine boxes and bags.  Each class had a fun party also and exchanged Valentines with their classmates. Thank you parents and teachers for the fun day!
