Welcome to the First Grade
Here, students explore, learn, and grow together in a supportive and friendly environment. Across all classes, curiosity is encouraged, kindness is valued, and every child is celebrated as they discover new ideas and build lasting friendships.

Hi Friends,
I love being part of the LNCS community and think hanging out with first graders each day is a pretty great gig! My husband and I have two young adult children, a small flock of backyard chickens, and a love of travel.
