SUPERINTENDENT CORNER

Dear Lester Prairie School District Staff and Families,

Spring is a special time of year filled with opportunities for giving, serving, and celebrating kindness. Just a few of the activities going on right now at LP Schools include:

All Students: Cereal Box Drive for Outreach and Food Shelf
Yearbook Staff: daily recognition posters
High School Seniors: Spotlights Bulletin Board
Staff: Spotlights Bulletin Board
NHS: Food Shelf Drive
Elementary students: celebrated their PBIS achievement reward last week
High School students: celebrating their PBIS achievement next Wednesday
Student Council: creating spring baskets to cheer someone’s day
NHS, Student Council, and REACH: participating in Feed My Starving Children next week

Our school district is extremely fortunate to have an amazing community of supporters who give and serve abundantly. The PTO, Foundation for Education, Youth Task Force, Lester Prairie Family Outreach, and Booster Club work alongside us and provide incredible support and resources to our district and families. Later this spring, a Daktronics Video Board will be installed in our North Gym thanks to the following Anchor Partner supporters: First Community Bank, Glencoe Regional Health, Herald Journal, Lester Prairie Lions, Liquibox, and RAM Buildings. Many other businesses and organizations (listed here) support activities and athletics through our Banner Program. We are grateful to all these businesses and organizations who continue to generously give and serve so that the academic, activity, and social experience at LP Schools is meaningful, productive, healthy, and positive.

It’s great to belong to LP Schools!

It’s great to learn at LP Schools!

It’s great to participate at LP Schools!

It’s great to be an LP Bulldog!

Thank you for your continued support of Lester Prairie Schools.

With gratitude,

Superintendent Melissa Radeke
