Its safe to say that LBA Elementary would not be LBA Elementary without Lois Moss, who has been serving students and families here for 49 years. Starting in the lunchroom, where she still continues daily duties, she quickly demonstrated a rapport with students that everyone knew could benefit classrooms as well. Generations come and go, but Lois is a shining, timeless example of dedication, dependability, and compassion.

More visitors from the Washington Homecoming Court read to one of our Kindergarten classes. Thanks for visiting!

Emma Hensley and Dana Harpe, two students on the WHS Homecoming Court came and read , "Creepy Carrots," this morning to our early childhood students.

K03 loves going to Library! After listening to Mrs. Savage read stories, they get to participate in various station activities. Sometimes we even get 4th grade buddies to come in and play too. The smiles say it all.

Our custodial staff do so much more than keep classrooms, hallways, and facilities clean. They help create safe, welcoming spaces where students and staff can learn, grow, and thrive. Their dedication often goes unseen, but it makes a difference every single day. Thank you Mr. Rick, Mr. Timas and Mr. Danny for all you do! We appreciate you!
