Staff returned to school today for our winter institute day with a theme of "Ready, Set, Achieve! Navigating Lincoln-Way's College and Career Pathways". Building meetings and professional development took place in the morning, and in the afternoon we hosted sessions that highlighted our Agriculture and IT, Art, Business & Technology, Family & Consumer Science, and Music departments.
We are so excited to welcome students back to school tomorrow. Let's have a great second semester!
For ONE NIGHT ONLY, come see students from all three LW schools perform Legally Blonde: The Musical at East this Saturday (1/4)! The show begins at 7PM - purchase your tickets here: https://lincoln-way.ticketleap.com/legallyblonde/
We are honored that our fall musical, Hadestown: Teen Edition, was selected to perform at the Illinois High School Theatre Festival. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we were unable to secure the performance rights to bring the production to the festival. While this was a disappointment, we saw it as an opportunity to rise to the occasion and showcase the resilience, talent, and determination of our students.
With the incredible support of the festival, we are excited to present Legally Blonde: The Musical as our new festival show! Over the last month, our students have poured their hearts into learning this fun, fast-paced, and inspiring production. Before heading to the festival, we invite you to join us for ONE hometown performance of Legally Blonde: The Musical to cheer on these hardworking and dedicated students.
Check out your January upcoming events, and have a great rest of your winter break! ❄⛄
