veterans day celebration

This Week in Photos: November 9 - 13, 2026

Our elementary students had the opportunity to lead the Pledge of Allegiance and share what Veterans Day means to them at a recent Board of Education meeting. Through their thoughtful words, students reminded us of the importance of honoring those who have served our country!

Our Board of Education Student Representatives, Savannah Williamson and Bryce McDonald, recently attended the BOE Student Representative Workshop, where they connected with fellow student representatives, board leaders, and school administrators. They also continued work on their Student Voice Project, helping ensure student perspectives are heard and represented!

Learning through creativity, collaboration, and a little friendly competition! Students are putting their knowledge to work through hands-on ELA projects, science experiments, and peer-to-peer vocabulary practice. These engaging activities encourage critical thinking, teamwork, and a deeper understanding of what they're learning!

Ms. Kenyon’s first graders worked hard during literacy centers, practicing letter sounds through fun, hands-on activities! These engaging learning opportunities help students strengthen their phonics skills and build a strong foundation for reading.

A special day of gratitude and remembrance across Lyons CSD! Our district hosted its first Veterans Day celebrations at both the Elementary School and Middle/High School, bringing students, staff, veterans, and community members together to honor those who have served our country. A meaningful opportunity for our students to learn about service, sacrifice, and the importance of showing appreciation to our veterans!
