Senior Intern Spotlight: KARLEY SPRATT
I have been interning at the Orthopedic and Shoulder Center. At this time, I can only observe what my mentors are doing, but I've learned a lot about how to interact well, build connections with patients, and my knowledge about the human body has greatly expanded. This experience has made me realize that healthcare is definitely what I want to continue to do in the future!
This week, high school PE students traveled to the Yoga Lab in Bloomington where they participated in two classes: Power Yoga & Restorative Yoga. They also enjoyed mini açaí bowls after class. Following yoga, they ice skated at the Pepsi Ice Center.
One goal of Mrs. Leinweber’s Fitness and Wellness PE class is to introduce a variety of fitness activities as well as showcase life-long fitness opportunities in our own community and surrounding areas.
Congratulations Lady Panthers Basketball! Regional Champs! 🏆
Senior Intern Spotlight: BROOKLYN SPRATT
At my internship at H&H Family Dental, I have been observing the hygienist, rolling instruments, and making hygiene trays. Through this experience so far I have learned that it’s okay to make mistakes and learn from them. My internship has helped me expand my knowledge about dental hygiene and helped me gain skills to use in my future!
Senior Intern Spotlight: LAUREN BOSSINGHAM
Last semester I interned in Kindergarten, and this semester I am currently interning under Mrs. Clarke in first grade. The opportunity to intern at LeRoy Elementary School has better prepared me for when I become an elementary school teacher. Interning has given me so much knowledge and experience. Through this internship, I have been able to experience what it is like to be hands-on in a classroom setting. I have also learned many skills from my mentors, such as classroom management, flexibility, organization strategies, and communication techniques. By having the opportunity to do this internship, I have been able to confirm that teaching at the elementary level is something that I am passionate about.
Thank you to all of our local scholarship donors!
Senior Intern Spotlight: BRODY BENNETT
I have been a student intern at Le Roy Elementary school in Mrs. Fox's kindergarten classroom. Over the past couple months, I have learned how to help our youngest students learn academic and social skills. I have also learned how to build relationships with our kindergarten students. A strong teacher-student connection often helps kindergarteners feel more comfortable and can even help them learn more! I’m happy I got to gain hands-on experience in a classroom setting because it has helped me decide that I would like to teach kindergarten in my future.
Congratulations to the LHS students who were inducted into the BACC Technical Honor Society tonight!

Senior Intern Spotlight: BECCA LEHR
Over the first semester I interned at Birch&Beams, a boutique here in LeRoy. I was able to gain a lot of experience from my boss, Jennifer, as well as from her mother, Sylvia, who helps and works at the stores. I worked and observed what goes on behind the scenes to keep a small business running and successful. I was also taught some great ways to sell products and how to build relationships with customers. My communication skills and problem solving techniques greatly improved and I’m so thankful to be at Birch&Beams and be a part of their amazing team.
This fall, I will be attending Illinois State University to study Marketing. I am so excited and feel prepared to go into college and into my future with all the experience I have gained during this internship.
Let's go! Our LTV Wrestlers are Regional Champs! 🏆
Congratulations athletes & coaches!
Senior Intern Spotlight: ASHTYN HALL
I spent the first semester interning with Mrs. Hannah Larson who is the pre-k & kindergarten special education teacher at Le Roy Elementary School. In December, I graduated early from LeRoy High School and I am now a full time paraprofessional in Mrs. Larson’s room at LeRoy Elementary School. It has been such a great learning experience. In the fall of 2024, I will be moving to Florida to attend Florida State and study to become a pediatric occupational therapist!
Congratulations seniors!
