Lesher Rounds Up Most Turkeys!
Lesher won first place out of secondary schools for the annual Turkey Round Up! We collected 105 turkeys for a total of 1,623 pounds for the Larimer County Food Bank. Thank you to Lesher students and their families, our staff, and neighbors around our school for providing families in our community a Thanksgiving dinner this year.
Interested in Lesher?
Students who would like to learn more about Lesher may choose to shadow a current student. Information about shadow sign up will be available at this meeting. Shadow sign up is on a first come, first serve basis. While it’s our intent to provide an opportunity to visit Lesher during the school day, we are also a place of learning, so our first priority is to maintain a learning environment for the students who currently attend Lesher. Therefore it is necessary to limit the number of shadow days and visits.
