THANK YOU Lansing families! Because of your great generosity, our fall fundraising campaign was a resounding success! We are so appreciative of your support. Thanks to you, we will be able to continue supporting our schools with programs such as teacher grants, field trip t-shirts for every student, field trip bussing, Friday communication folders & agendas, family engagement events, teacher appreciation, assemblies, books for school & classroom libraries, and end of year Field Days!

Fundraising orders can be picked up on Wednesday, November 9 (3:20-6pm) at Lansing Intermediate School commons.



Our PRIDE Walls of Fame are installed in the schools! We are so happy to have a part in celebrating student success. Last month's Perseverance honorees are in place in our displays. Looking forward to adding to these throughout the year! The next assembly will take place next Friday, October 28 and will recognize "Respect". We would like to take this opportunity to also thank Leavenworth Culver's for their generous donation of a free scoop of custard for each of the students when they are recognized each month.
