Our ring the bell celebration has truly become one of our most favorite traditions at Leeton Elementary. Students who meet their growth target in either reading or math get to ring an obnoxiously loud dinner bell that hangs in our hallway. We whoop and holler and cheer on the achievements of others!!

We held our annual grandparents day picnic on the playground yesterday. We had amazing weather and enjoyed seeing grandparents with their grands eating a picnic lunch and spending time together. It was an awesome day!!
