NED Show Visits LP

Never Give Up, Encourage Others, Do Your Best was the message Lester Prairie students heard when the NED Show came to town!  Lester Prairie students and staff attended a lyceum sponsored by the NED Show.  The NED Show utilizes magic and yo-yo tricks to tell the story of NED, who learns along the way to follow these three simple messages to have success and enjoy life.  Kelli Machemehl, a paraprofessional at Lester Prairie Schools stated, "I thought the NED show was great!  (A) good message and very entertaining for everyone." Other staff members agreed, including Lester Prairie Promise Fellow Lyn Anderson, "Kids will always remember what NED stands for."  The lyceum was related to the current positive behavior initiatives and anti-bullying campaign.  

The program was followed by the Club's Choice Elementary Fundraiser "Toss Your Cookie" contest.  Students were selected based on the number of items they sold during the elementary fundraiser.  The winner of the contest was Broc Matthews who won a $15 gift card and a stuffed cookie toy.  The fundraiser each year is set up by LP Parent's for Education and this year raised its largest amount of money yet.  Proceeds from the fundraiser go toward purchases for the benefit of students and have included iPads, musical instruments, upgrades to the library, books, a Lego learning set, and many other wonderful items directly related to student learning.
