Laquey R5 School District

Thank you to the Turkey Ridge Sportsman's Club for their generous check donation to Laquey Athletics! Thank you for your support of our district and our student-athletes.

Spotlight on Excellence This is a dedicated time each month during our School Board meeting to celebrate students, staff members, and the community who make Laquey such a special place. At the October Board Meeting, we acknowledged our Cafeteria staff. This past week was National School Lunch Week, and our cafeteria staff went above and beyond to make it an unforgettable experience for our students. They transformed our cafeterias into a full circus extravaganza! From colorful circus decorations hanging throughout the room to displaying acrobat performances on the TVs, and even treating our students and staff to special circus-themed snacks that brought smiles to faces all across the district. They reliably take care of our staff by preparing meals for our Professional Development days, and most importantly, they ensure that every single student gets fed. Thank you for everything that you do for our schools!

Come out today to the Laquey High School Student Council Blood Drive happening today!!
