On June 14, 2021 the Elks Lodge 236  held its annual Flag Day Ceremony, rich with history and tradition.  Employees of Lake County School District attended, and the ceremony ended with Exalted Ruler Andrew Ault presenting a new flag to Eva Mascarenas, Custodial Director for Lake County School District.  The new flag will be flown over the new Lake County Elementary School.  The School District is very grateful for this meaningful gift and appreciative of our partnership with the Elks Lodge in Leadville.

J.R Cruz explains the history of the Flag Day Ceremony held at Elks Lodges all over the nation since 1911. Seated left to right are: Eva Mascarenas, Mike Vagher, Bunny Taylor, Bethany Massey, Kathleen Fitzsimmons, and Nancy Ault.

Andrew Ault presents a new U.S. flag to fly above LCES to Eva Mascarenas as JR Cruz looks on.

Dear families and community members, 

The Lake County Art department proudly presents our district digital art show for the 2021/21 school year.  Our annual Spring Art show is postponed for yet another year, and we have created art in new and different ways we may have not imagined, but Lake County artists have demonstrated great perseverance and resilience.   Please enjoy a sampling of their amazing work from this past year. We thank you for the wonderful support that our community and school district has shown for the arts! 

With gratitude,

West Park

Hi West Park Artists and Families!  Throughout the year, I have been cataloguing student artwork in an online gallery called Artsonia!  Here, you can see many of the fun projects that we have been creating in art class this year.  If you would like, there are also opportunities to purchase various merchandise featuring your student’s artwork.  Some of the proceeds benefit the West Park Art Department.  If you cannot see your student’s art, please email me (mstock@lakecountyschools.net) to set up an account.

I am so proud of all of the hard work that our K-2 Artists have done this year!  They have demonstrated craftsmanship, curiosity, perseverance, collaboration, and so much growth. Being their art teacher is such a joy, I can’t wait to see what they create over the summer and next year!  Thank you so much!

I am beyond proud of the perseverance, grit and resilience of our Lake County High School students this year. It is has been difficult and has challenged us all in different ways. Art has been especially tough through hybrid and virtual learning. But even through it all, our high school students managed to produce some profound and skilled artwork. I am looking forward to having students back in the art room!

Due to staffing constraints and pandemic exhaustion, LCSD will not be running meal distribution over the summer. However, there are some great options for families that I’d like to share on our website. 

• St. George’s & Food Bank of the Rockies currently to provide grab & go meals (Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner every day if needed) for students. Since they are grab & go, students can come by the Mobile Food Pantry sites and grab as many meals as they need for the week. As of now, the schedule for the Mobile Food Pantry is as follows:
  • Mondays 12-2: Mountain View West
  • Wednesday 9-1: St. George
  • Fridays 12-2: Mountain Valley Estates
  • Saturdays 9-1: St. George
  • Saturdays 2-4: Lake Fork
