Get ready for some friendly competition! Penny Wars is happening from April 29 to May 1—a fun and spirited fundraiser where every penny counts, literally. The rules are simple: grade has a bucket, and the goal is to fill yours with the most pennies. Here's the twist: silver coins and bills count against you, so opponents can sabotage your jar by adding those! It's all about strategy, teamwork, and a dash of rivalry.

This exciting event will help raise money for our monthly PBIS school-wide celebrations and incentives, promoting and celebrating positive behaviors at LES. Don’t miss the chance to join the fun and support this great cause! 🪙

Check out our new Crayola display in the front lobby area!

Thank-you Ms. McGinnis for such a wonder display. 

What is the oldest Crayola color? 
 
Those first crayon colors were red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown, and black. These original crayon boxes sold for just a nickel! In 1900, prior to the introduction of the Crayola crayons we know and love today, Binney & Smith (the company that would become Crayola) produced black marking crayons.
