Next PTSA Meeting & 'Town Hall Event'

We are making an exciting change for this month's PTSA meeting (Wednesday, April 21st, 6 - 7:30 pm). After some quick announcements and board elections, Jennifer Magri (our school social worker) will be giving a presentation on Executive Functioning and how it impacts student learning at each grade level. We hope to see you there (virtually)!

THANK YOU for all the support of this year's Read-a-Thon!

We raised over $29,000!

Because we raised MUCH more than we could have imagined, we are excited to announce that we will be making some extra purchases for the new 'Maker's Space' coming to Leawood next year. Come to the PTSA meeting this month for more information to hear the exciting details.

Please be checking your emails the week of April 5th for information about Barnes and Noble gift card prizes, Nella's Dates and Limo Rides.

we're going on a lion hunt!

After school on April 8th, head over to Weaver Park and look for lions! Lions will be posted around the park for you to find :) Look on the back of each lion to find a letter. Rearrange the letters to find a special message :)

Wall of Pride

The Wall of Pride is Leawood’s way of acknowledging our responsible students. These good citizens are chosen by their teachers for demonstrating Respect, Responsibility and Safety. Students can be recognized for any of these traits during any month of the year, with the expectation that each student is recognized at least one time. These students will have their picture taken and will eat lunch with Mrs. Shehan during the monthly Wall of Pride lunch. The March Wall of Pride Students were:
