The U.S. Census Bureau has embarked on a nationwide effort to inform everyone living in the United States and five of its territories about the upcoming 2020 Census and to encourage them to respond online, by phone, or by mail.

Everyone counts. The census counts every person living in the U.S. once, only once, and in the right places.

It’s about fair representation. Every 10 years, the results of the census are used to reapportion the House of Representatives, determining how many seats each state gets.

Just a reminder to Larsen Families that our Title One Star Fest is being held tonight from 5:30-7:30 PM.  Dinner will be served from 5:30-7:00.  Come enjoy fun activities as a family.  Hope to see you all there!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!  Larsen Elementary spent the day celebrating his birthday in many special ways.  Students wrote poems, read his books, played games, made art projects and ate green eggs and ham.  We love Dr. Seuss and had fun celebrating him! 

Several classes at Larsen where lucky to have Panda Express come and visit their classrooms.  They taught students about what Lunar New Year is all about in China.  Panda shared the customs and legends that have been passed down for over 3,800 years!  They also were awesome for bringing food for everyone!   Thank you Panda Express for coming and celebrating with us!

We had an eventful morning here at Larsen Elementary.  First we had an assembly called "In Their Shoes" where students learned about how people live in other countries  .  Then after that, we got to hold our awesome read-a-thon assembly.  The winning grade levels were 1st and 4th grade.  Each class got to choose someone to get a pie thrown in their face.  There were many nervous faculty and staff waiting to see who they would pick.  The lucky winners were Mrs. Thomas (3 pies), Ms. Linnell, Mrs. Chynoweth, Mrs. Stevenson and Mrs.
