Spring Fling

Planning is in FULL SWING for the SPRING FLING!! Save the date for Friday, April 5th, at Breckenridge Brewery. We will start the evening with appetizers, a special Leawood Lion Lager, and silent and live auction. After all that fun, we will be entertained with the music stylings of That Eighties Band!!!

How can you help you may be thinking??? We need DONATIONS! Anything donated for the silent auction will bring in 100% profit for the school. We are not doing class baskets this year, so please donate whatever you would like. We want lots of items varying in prices, so that everyone can go home with a goodie :)

Accountability

Thank you to all who came to the accountability meeting in November! We discussed the parent survey, and areas of development for the school. Over this year, we will be focusing on social and emotional communication and training with families. We also discussed Lockdown buckets for each classroom. If you have a connection with a hardware store or fire department, we are looking for various items to be donated for the buckets. Please email Melissa Kohn at mekohn4@gmail.com if you can help.

The next meeting will be Wednesday, February 6th at 5pm in the library. We would love to see lots of people there. There will be FREE FOOD! And, if you bring a community member who is not a parent, you will be entered to win a gift card! Please join us for an important voice for our school.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please reach out to Leawood's Accountability Chair, Melissa Kohn at mekohn4@gmail.com

Wall of Pride for January

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 January Wall of Pride Students were:
