It's Physical Activity day of Every Kid Healthy Week: Get out there and do something fun!
Midwest Muscle and Joint continues to be a proud supporter of USD 343! They are offering free physicals again this year for incoming 7-12th graders participating in KSHSAA activities, but with a new, more convenient setup. To help families avoid the summer scramble and transportation hurdles, physicals will be held during school hours (1:00 PM – 4:00 PM) on May 1st and May 15th.

Thank you to all who came to support our surrounding hospitals during our blood drive on 4/16/26! We have met our goal for the year which was 50. We collected 66 units this year. Special Thanks to my Seniors Josie Boyden and Tilly Johnson for all your assistance this year.
Mindfulness is a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.
Take a look at the you tube video to find out what Mindfulness truly is and a way to practice it.
This week we will be celebrating Every Kid Healthy Week. It is a national movement taking action to make schools healthier places, so kids can learn to eat right, be physically active and get equipped for success.
Healthy kids are better learners!
Due to Heavy Rain, High winds gust (70mph), large hail, and a potential tornado or two, ALL USD 343 Perry-Lecompton Public Schools, including Childcare will be dismissing at 1pm today, 4/17/26. Buses will begin their routes at 1pm.
The safety of our students, staff, and families is our highest priority, and considering the current weather forecast may make it very unsafe to send students home later in the afternoon.
All after-school activities, practices, and evening events are also CANCELLED for today.
Please monitor our district website, social media channels, and your registered email and phone for further updates. Families are encouraged to exercise caution on roads.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your building office.
Again, we will be dismissing all USD 343 Schools at 1:OO pm today due to forecasted weather, scheduled to hit around normal school ending time.

Let's beat our numbers from 2025, which were the biggest in 20 years! We donated 57 pints. We are at 37 currently, from our drive in November! We can surpass last year easily!!! Plus, if we can get 50 we get a scholarship for my seniors who have spent time helping me set up and making the drives successful. https://donate.savealifenow.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/86459
