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.
Burgers for Better Schools Program Leawood has been selected by Red Robin to be a part of this new program. Every time you eat at Red Robin, 1% of your check will be donated directly to your school of choice. Be sure to invite your friends, family and neighbors to join Red Robin Royalty and opt-in to support your school, too. Remember, the more you devour – the more they’ll donate!

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 February Wall of Pride Students were:
