Larson Elementary
News You Can Use for September 5, 2024
Dear Larson Families,
It’s hard to believe that we’ve already been in school for three weeks! Our students have done an amazing job following our Eagle Expectations every day and I’m extremely proud of each and every one of them.
September will be a busy month for us as Flag Football, Cross Country and some of our clubs get started. If your child is interested in a club or sport, please reach out to the office or your child’s teacher and we will get you the information.
On Thursday, September 26th we will have our Annual Title I meeting as well as our Goodies with Guardians event in the gym. It will take place from 8:00 to 9:15am and there will be treats and other fun things for families to participate in. We look forward to seeing everyone!
We currently have a few openings at Larson. We are looking for a Recess Monitor, Tutor Advisor and Special Education Paraprofessional. If you are interested, please apply through the district website or reach out to the school with any questions you may have.
🦅 Eagle Expectations: Soaring High 🦅

Sincerely,
Matt LaHue
