Did you know??

PTSA funds MANY different areas of our schools functionality. When we have fundraisers, we are raising for the many things we fund each year, as well as our unique chosen item. This year our unique item is the INTERIOR UPLIFT. Our Read A Thon was raising money to go towards the library portion of the Uplift. The Spring Fling will raise money towards the rest of the school uplift.

Other monies PTSA gives to the school are for:

*5th grade continuation *Assemblies *Back to school event *Birthday Pencils and Friday Folders *Columbine High School Graduation Breakfast and Scholarship *Classroom Supplies and Authentic Tasks *Leawood Garden *School Supplies for Families in Need *Staff Appreciation *Trick or Treat Street *Veteran's Day Program

We want to THANK YOU for supporting our PTSA and school by helping us to be able to provide all of these things to our school each year, and making Leawood the best learning environment in Jefferson County!

Easy Ways to Support Leawood

You Can Still Support Leawood by participating in the following programs . We are still collecting Box Tops and Milk Caps for Mooola. We have a collection bin in the front entryway of the school. We are also participating in the American Furniture Warehouse and Burgers for Better Schools Programs.

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:
