Leawood's Day of Service

Mark your calendar! Leawood’s Day of Service will be Saturday, April 18th and this year we will be moving INSIDE to work on the ‘Interior Uplift’.  If you are interested in helping us plan the event, please join us for a meeting on Wednesday, February 5th, at 6:15, in the Library.

Conferences are coming and we need your help!

On Tuesday and Wednesday, February 11th and 12th, our teachers and many staff members will arrive at school at 8am (or earlier) and not leave until 8:30pm (or later) only to get up and do it all over again the next day.   Conferences are such an important part of connecting school and family to help children grow. Please sign up to help provide our awesome staff with dinner on these two nights!

Below are links to both days.  While we do need the food, drinks and supplies,  we also need a few folks that can help set up and clean up.  Can you help?

February 12th – Taco Night

February 13th – Pot Luck Buffet

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 December Wall of Pride Students were:
