Larsen Elementary loves to celebrate Halloween and yesterday was no exception. The school was decorated like Whoville and all the staff was dressed as characters from the beloved book "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and other Dr. Seuss books. When the kids entered into the school, they walked into a snow storm and then the magical world of Whoville. It was so fun to see the kids faces smiling and hear their laughter. We hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween!
Our Halloween Parade is going to be at 1:00 PM. Parents can stand on the grass square in front or line along the drop off lane. We are so excited to see all the costumes! Please remember also no masks or weapons are allowed. It will be sooktacular!
Our GAINS Dance Specialist helped some of our Larsen students make a sedimentary rock through body movements. They have been studying the different types of rocks and this was a really fun way to help them learn.
