Instead of a boring 5-minute timer, Mrs. Burnhart's scientists/singers enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody while conducting a modified version of a soil experiment from Clemson University!

Hello LSA Families!

LSA’s first Walk for Heart Health was a success! The weather was perfect, and the participants had fun. The Walk generated $370 to be donated to the American Heart Association.

A big Thank You to all the participants and their families for donating to this worthy cause.

Also, Thank You to the staff for helping out; we could not have done it without you.

We will look forward to doing it again next year!

Very Sincerely,

Diane Herbst
