Lions Last Roar
Wednesday, May 27
5 p.m. to 7 p.m. 
DLE Playground


Join us for a special end-of-year celebration, Lion’s Last Roar! This event is designed to give our students one more opportunity to laugh, play, and make lasting memories together before summer break.

This year’s event holds extra meaning, as some of our students will be rezoned to a new campus for the upcoming school year. We invite families and friends to come together, reconnect, and enjoy time on the playground as a community one last time.

All attendees will enjoy free Kona Ice, and we will be providing a special farewell gift for students who will be attending Scanlan Oaks Elementary next year.

We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful and fun-filled event as we celebrate friendships, memories, and new beginnings!
