We are incredibly proud of all our amazing student artists who entered this year’s Yearbook Cover Contest! With over 40 creative and thoughtful submissions, our judges had the tough job of selecting the finalists whose artwork best captured this year’s theme, Climb Higher: Growing Strong in the Heart of Colorado. All of the designs represent the spirit, creativity, and hard work of our entire student community, and we thank every student who inspired us with their talent, imagination, and dedication. We also thank our families for supporting our young artists and encouraging their creativity. We can’t wait for the LTE community to see the finished yearbook!

💫 And the winners are....

CONGRATULATIONS to Ruby Nierzwicki!

CONGRATULATIONS to Parker Albert and Caleb Miller!

• From Nutrition Services - Drink Options for Lunch - Milk is included with our free lunches, at no extra cost. Juice is also available but is not included with the free lunch. To purchase juice, students need to have money available in their MySchoolBucks account, and the cost is 75 cents. Water is always available as we have a water fountain and cups (if wanted) in the cafeteria. If none of these options works, students may bring their own water bottle to lunch. Students bringing lunch from home are encouraged to include a drink of their choice.
