We had an exciting Battle of the Books in our 1st grade class this year. We started with 16 books and ended with 1 winner! The 2025 winner was You’re Going To Love This Book by @IamJoryJohn ! We are excited to add this to our classroom library. ❤️ @LSR7 #r7proud #gwewildcats

@LSR7 @homedepot One of my students wants to create a birdhouse in our area. Is there a way to still get one of the Poolside Birdhouse Kit Packs for her to make her project come to life?

A huge thank you to @lsedfoundation for providing science kits to our elementary classes! Today we used some of the materials to explore types of animal beaks and how they are used for different purposes. We are thankful for your generosity! #lsef #lsr7 #gwebulldogs
