In the course of cleaning out items for the 2nd Annual USD 298 Garage Sale, LES staff uncovered school picture ID cards for students born in the mid-eighties to early nineties. If your are an LES alumni from this time or a parent of an alumni and you would like your student ID back as a keepsake, come see Mrs. Schmidt at the garage sale and stay for the bargains. We promise to not judge 1980s and 1990s hairstyles, and the fashions your mother made you wear for picture day.
