Mrs. Affolter’s Teaching as a Career class has been teaching Ms. Christa's preschool kids about gravity, push/pull, ramps, measuring and more this week. It's another great example of how our older students are mentors to those just beginning their educational journey! #celebrate379







It was Movin' On Up Day for the Lincoln 3rd graders! Each class got to ask questions to a panel of 4th graders and see the building. They should be ready to go next fall! #celebrate379





Today is School Nurse Appreciation Day. We have three of the best in USD 379! Most people have no idea just how busy they are each day helping our kids. They are appreciated! #celebrate379


Mr. Kimmi spent his morning bringing around a snack and drink cart to the amazing staff at Lincoln to say thank you during Teacher Appreciation Week! #celebrate379


Most students at Lincoln are in the middle of end-of-year testing. This includes Mrs. Thomas' 2nd graders, who were focusing on the iReady math spring assessment. These assessments are used to gauge growth throughout the year and from year to year, and also to help your student's next teacher know where your child is in their learning process. #celebrate379

Last week, Garfield Para Ashlee Baker-Brown stopped in to Mrs. Christa's Pre-K classroom to share her passion for pants and botany. She shared about some of her own plants, plant life, plant health, propagation, and how plants help provide us with clean air! #celebrate379






USD 379 transportation routes will be 10 to 15 minutes behind today (April 25th) . We apologize for this inconvenience. Thank you for your patience.


Thank you to our amazing secretaries in our district! #celebrate379


Even though we are now in the last month of the school year, learning is still happening at LES! Ms. Brownell's students spent their Monday morning working on spelling words with specific prefixes and suffixes. They were also catching up on possessive pronouns. Here's to finishing the year strong! #celebrate379

Congratulations Mr. Bent! #celebrate379


Egg Drop 2025! Thank you to our very own Clay Center Fire Department for helping make yesterday's Egg Drop a big success. Capsules were dropped 50 feet and then carefully opened to reveal the answer to everyone’s question…..Did your egg survive? #celebrate379





Mrs. Kaity's Pre-K classes have spent their "Garden" theme week planting flowers. She even had some former students come back to help! After all, once you are in Pre-K you are considered family! #celebrate379



We have a doctor in the house!
Congratulations to Mrs. Fox. She not only earned her Kansas Seal of Literacy designation for completing her Reading Specialist program, but she also recently completed her Doctorate program in curriculum and instruction from Kansas State! She will officially graduate in May with her research focused on dyslexia.
Congratulations on this BIG honor and doing what is best for our kids! #celebrate379

We wish Mr. Kimmi the best of luck and welcome Mrs. Lane to LES next year! We have begun the search process to find the next principal at Garfield Elementary. Our goal is to have that position filled as soon as possible to ensure a smooth transition for both school communities. #celebrate379


GREAT MOMENT ALERT!!!
Every year at LES, students are invited to write an essay on who they feel is the "Kindest Clay Center Citizen". Some were chosen to read their essays at a Rise & Shine assembly in March.
Senior Anthony Davies wasn't 18 yet, so he didn't qualify as a recipient. But that didn't stop two students from nominating him, including Bronson! LES counselor Ms. Coughlin invited Anthony for lunch and the essays were read to him. It is a great lesson about how our oldest learners are a great example to our youngest learners in USD 379! #celebrate379




Thank you to everyone who attended our Kindergarten Roundup last week! If you did not attend and have a child enrolling in kindergarten at LES next year, please call the office at 785 632-3156 to set up a screening appointment. #celebrate379
