SUPERINTENDENT CORNER

Dear Lester Prairie School District community,

As Teacher Appreciation Week comes to a close, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of our amazing educators who work tirelessly to support our students’ learning and growth.

Our teachers are the backbone of our school district and their tireless efforts to educate and inspire our students are truly remarkable. I am constantly impressed by the creativity, passion, and enthusiasm that our teachers bring to their classrooms every day. They inspire our students to learn, grow, and achieve their full potential and their impact on our community is immeasurable.

I would also like to extend my appreciation to our support staff, administrators, School Board members, and all those who play a vital role in making our schools run smoothly. The dedicated hard work of all team members benefits our number one priority: our students!

This week, the Lester Prairie Booster Club sponsored some Teacher Appreciation Week activities such as a Thank You Gift Bag, bagels and juice, pop and popcorn, and a hotdish lunch. In addition, the PTO sponsored an all-staff “Thank you for being awesome!” gift beverage tumbler. Many thanks to the Booster Club and PTO for supporting and celebrating our staff!

We are grateful for the awesome educators at Lester Prairie Schools!

Most sincerely,

Superintendent Melissa Radeke
