Len Lastinger Elementary School

Get ready for HOMECOMING week next week!

Something MONSTER-SIZED is coming our way… and it’s going to be a GOOD TIME! Stay tuned for a BIG announcement coming this week!

Attendance is more than just being present—it’s the foundation for student success. Every school day gives students the opportunity to learn, build relationships, develop confidence, and prepare for their future. Missing just two days each month can quickly add up and impact academic achievement.
Together, let's encourage our students to show up, be engaged, and make every minute count. Every day. Every class. Every opportunity.

📚✨ First Grade is working hard in centers! ✨📚 Our first graders are busy learning, practicing skills, and working together as they rotate through their centers. We love seeing their focus, teamwork, and excitement for learning! 💙🤍 Keep up the great work, First Grade! 👏📖✏️

Turn up the music and build language through song.

For Sing Together Wednesday, share a favorite song, nursery rhyme or silly tune with a child. Singing helps children hear and play with sounds, words and rhythm—and makes literacy part of an everyday moment.

No perfect voice required. Just sing, smile and enjoy the moment together.

Our Ambassadors had the opportunity to travel to the high school to learn about the history of the US flag as well as flag etiquette and protocol from JROTC members.

Every conversation is a literacy moment.

Celebrate Talk Together Tuesday by starting a conversation with a child. Ask about their day, listen to their ideas and encourage them to tell you more. Every question, answer and shared laugh helps build language, vocabulary and connection.

Try asking: “What was your favorite part of your day?”

Turn the page, Georgia. 🍑

Georgia Reads Day launches Georgia Reads Week with one simple challenge: take a few minutes to read with a child or share a favorite story. As you read, ask, “What do you think will happen next?” One book and one moment together can help build stronger readers, families and communities.

Share your reading moment and invite someone else to join.

Thank You for Keeping Georgia Reading.


Behind every growing reader is an educator who encouraged one more page, introduced one more story and helped build one more moment of confidence.

This Georgia Reads Day, we celebrate Georgia’s teachers, media specialists and school leaders for creating classrooms where curiosity grows and reading comes to life. Thank you for helping students discover the knowledge, imagination and possibilities found in every book.

Talk More. Sing More. Read More.

Your voice is one of your child’s most powerful learning tools. Talking through everyday moments, singing favorite songs and reading together help newborns and young children build language, strengthen connections and develop skills that support lifelong learning.

Healthcare providers, caregivers and families all play an important role. Start early, make it part of every day and remember: every word makes a difference.

When Georgia Reads, Georgia Thrives.

Strong readers help build stronger schools, families and communities—and local libraries help make reading possible for everyone.

This Georgia Reads Day, visit your library, get a library card and discover the stories, resources and programs available in your community. When more Georgians have access to reading and learning, our entire state moves forward.
