Staff and students around the district celebrated World Kindness Day yesterday!
Earlier this week, Lincoln-Way Central auto students partnered with the Village of New Lenox Safe Community Coalition for the annual senior vehicle inspection event! Students, under the supervision of their instructors, did multi-point inspections on 60 vehicles over two days. Each resident was able to review their inspection with an instructor and go over next steps to ensure their cars are safe and ready for the winter weather ahead.
