They cleaned and labeled crates, swept floors, carried tables, and unloaded trucks — putting in tons of hard work and heart. 💪✨
We are so proud of their eagerness to help others. Every student earned an A for the day! 🌟 #LHSpride #LifeSkills #CommunityHelpers #AnimalRescue #Adoptdontshop

🎉 Field Trip Fun! 🎒
Thanks to a generous grant from the Springfield Public Schools Foundation that Mrs. Landon wrote, her class along with Mrs. Hawkins, and the Lanphier Life Skills students took an exciting trip to the Illinois State Museum right here in Springfield!
Students explored the rich history of Illinois, discovered fascinating fossils, learned about native wildlife, and participated in hands-on exhibits that brought science and social studies to life! From mastodons to prairie life, the museum offered an unforgettable learning experience. 🦴🌾🖐️
We’re so grateful for the opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world exploration!
