8th Grade Portfolio Interviews

Our 8th Grade Interview Program is an opportunity for middle school students in the Troy School District to participate in an interview with professional members of the Troy community. On May 7th and 8th Larson students will showcase their portfolios of accomplishments during middle school and will be prepared to answer questions about their artifacts as well as their interests, strengths, passions, and future plans. The program depends on volunteer interviewers. If you or if you know of any professionals interested in volunteering, please use the sign-up link below. We appreciate your support of this district program.

Student IDs

Please make sure your student has their ID on them at Larson. IDs help keep the flow of the lunch line moving and are necessary to check books and resources out of the media center. Thanks for your support!

Forgotten Items and Lunch Drop Offs

To ensure safety and security, we are encouraging all student items to be dropped off on the blue cart in the vestibule and labeled with a sticky note. In addition to the sticky note, please use the Daily Drop off Log to put your students name and item. We will be going through the cart every hour to make sure items get to your student in a timely manner.

Relay for Life - Sheets Needed!

During our next STRONG day on May 16, we will be using the time to prepare for our Relay for Life Event. The committee has come up with a few ways to commemorate the event, one of which is to create multiple murals to pay tribute to the people that have been affected by cancer. We plan to place these murals in the middle of the bus loop while we walk.

Jennathon 2024!

Looking for a fun, active opportunity to give back to our community? Believe in Miracles will be hosting Jennathon 2024 on Saturday, June 8th!! This is a 5k race (with other options as well) that benefits Believe in Miracles, a troy-based charity that grants wishes to kids who are struggling with life-threatening illnesses. Believe in Miracles was actually started by a previous Larson student, Brett Kast, as his sister was receiving chemotherapy, so we have a very a close connection with this organization and would greatly appreciate seeing familiar faces there!
