Pop Tops
Pop Tops
In years past, our Leawood Community has collected pop tops to donate to the Ronald McDonald House. As we continue this tradition, we would like to remind you that our last classroom collection will be mid-may, with the winning class being announced around then.
Last year we, as a Leawood Community, collected over 115 pounds of pop tops. All of these were donated to the Ronald McDonald House in June.

This year students have an opportunity working on reading and math skills at home this summer. Students will maintain their Lexia accounts where they can continue to practice and apply their reading skills. This summer, students will also have opportunities in math. Students in grades K through 2 can use Zearn to practice and review their math skills. Students in grades 3 through 5 can use MAP Accelerator.
For all 3 programs students will login through Clever, clever.com, using their district login credentials. When there, they can click on the program they want to launch and can begin. If you have questions, please reach out to jamie.kelley@jeffco.k12.co.us
