Reading Olympics Closing Ceremony! 📚🏅
What an incredible month of reading at LAES! We wrapped up our Reading Olympics with our Closing Ceremony, and we couldn’t be more proud of our students!
🥇🥈🥉 We celebrated our Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medalists for each country! These were the top readers for the month. Their hard work and reading commitment paid off!
👏 A SPECIAL shoutout to our Reading Challenge Finishers—these students went above and beyond by taking on our extra reading challenge for the month.
Thank you to our students, staff, and families for making this month so special. Keep on reading, Cardinals! 📖✨








🍎✨ Shout Out to Our Amazing Paraprofessionals! ✨📚
Last week we celebrated Para Appreciation Day & School Librarian Appreciation Day with these wonderful ladies. On Wednesday, we enjoyed an App(reciation) Day Lunch—just a small thank you for the HUGE impact they make every day. 🧁🥨🍓

Taskmaster - LAHS style! Middle and High School students have been completing challenges in their Cardinal Time groups to help build relationships and use their creative and problem-solving skills.
The first challenge was to build a freestanding Cardinal bird using only the materials they found in their classroom. They did a GREAT job!
Congratulations to Mr. Groth's group for coming in 1st place! The remaining Top 5 teams - Mrs. Sanders, Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Hope, and Mrs. Gudgel!
