Loudon Elementary School

Battle of the Bridge...it's more than a game!!!

Help LHS win the Battle of the Bridge food drive! Students can bring cash, checks, and non-perishable food items to their homeroom teachers beginning Monday, August 18th. Make checks payable to the Good Samaritan Center. As a reminder, $1 equals 5 pounds of food.

New this year, supporters can also donate online by scanning the QR code or visiting this link: https://checkout.square.site/merchant/MLAA7FVGAC6MF/checkout/QXKL6TAZQGMUXZFEOP4M6JBJ?src=webqr

Be sure to include the homeroom teacher's name in the appropriate box at checkout. Donations through the link can begin immediately!

LHS Principal Scott MacKintosh will reward the LES classroom with the most donations with a pizza party! Donations must be turned in to LES by the morning of Thursday, August 28th to count toward classroom totals.

We are so excited to partner with Freddy's in Lenoir City. They are hosting a Loudon Elementary School fundraiser day on August 21, 2025. Their fundraising program will provide us with 15% of the total sales! You can shop in the restaurant, online, or use their mobile app. Come support our school, get some yummy food for your family, and enjoy some time together with friends. We thank you for your support!
