Greetings LES Families! We have made it through another week and Spring Break is upon the horizon! Spring Break will be Thursday, April 1st through Monday, April 5th. Next week only being a three day work week for your students before that five day break. Also, remember that in-person instruction will take place on all three days next week, Monday through Wednesday. This will be the first Wednesday of this '20-21 school year where students will be in-person. The staff is very excited about moving onto this next phase, bringing us even closer to normalcy of a regular school year. That said, we would like to have a special dress day on Wednesday. We will call it "Zoom Day" dress. Dress business/ professional up top, relaxed/comfy/pajamas on the bottom! Not to be confused with the Joe Dirt mullet, "Business on the top, party in the back!" Can't wait to see everybody's Zoom meeting outfits! Have a great weekend! Thank you, parents, for all that you do for LES and for being stakeholders that have an active role in the educational careers of your children!

This is a great opportunity for our Lebanon students who enjoy basketball and want to improve their skills! This program is directed by our Junior High Boys Basketball Coach Jamar Hemphill.
