Dear Layne Elementary 3rd-5th Grade Families,

As we prepare for the upcoming Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA), we want to ensure our 3rd–5th grade students are energized and comfortable after testing. To support them, we are kindly asking for snack donations that can be distributed to students after the testing sessions each day. Individually wrapped, single serve snacks that are peanut free such as granola bars, pretzels, crackers, or fruit snacks are a good idea. Your generosity helps set our students up for success, and we sincerely appreciate your continued support. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school at 502-485-8290.

Thank you!

Graphic says: Happy School Lunch Hero Week! Lassiter Middle. “Despite being a team meant for eight, the school’s nutrition staff is currently down to just four dedicated employees. Yet, through it all, Marcia Coyle continues to show unwavering dedication and heart every single day—her commitment is truly inspiring. Lassiter has faced some tough times recently, including unexpected injuries that have led to significant staffing shortages. But even in these challenging moments, Marcia and her new lead, Kersandra Faulkener have stepped up in incredible ways. To me, they are all true heroes—thank you for everything you do! Kudos to our incredible Café Team!” - Amy Willard, SCNS Consultant
