Drive-Thru Pre-K Enrollment Event
Exciting News - Registration Extended
LRSD Continues to Evolve with the Times with its Ignite Digital Academy Launch! During the height of the pandemic LRSD had to adapt to the digital learning landscape in order to best meet the needs of the families and students it serves. Last school year, plenty of students thrived learning virtually and we would like to continue to provide and maximize that option for them.
As we head into the summer and prepare for the upcoming school year, it is apparent that the Ignite Digital Academy is going to be an enriching option. Building on the resources and information learned last school year, the Academy will be a huge improvement from the former virtual option provided. We're so excited about this upcoming school year and encourage any family who would benefit from this option to take advantage.

Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet
“Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet” is public art with a purpose, featuring 26 beautiful globes that vividly present solutions to climate change and make it clear…we can solve this. Each of the massive globes was created by a different artist, including four brand new globes designed by local creatives. The globes will be displayed throughout the Clinton Presidential Park.
“Cool Globes” is a public art exhibition designed to raise awareness of solutions to climate change. Founder Wendy Abrams announced “Cool Globes” as a Commitment to Action during the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting in 2005. The exhibit premiered in Chicago the next year and has since been displayed in dozens of cities throughout the country and around the world.
