Before school dismissed for Summer Break, The LJPS 2nd Grade math club was asked to help plant this year’s Arbor Day tree on our school grounds. Thank you to the City of La Junta for asking our students to participate in the reading of the Arbor Day Proclamation and planting of the tree!

At the LJPS May School Assembly, our 2nd Grade students led the whole School in singing the La Junta Tiger Fight Song “On La Junta”. At the end of the song, they chanted their class cheer for the last time at La Junta Primary School. We wish our 2nd Graders the best as they continue their educational journey at the Intermediate School next year!

Their class cheer: Second Grade, Second Grade, full of tricks - we’re the class of 2036!🐯
