Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210

All three schools hosted their annual bridge contests this week. Students were tasked with constructing a bridge that would be put to the test as they added weight to a platform until the bridge broke! Great job to everyone who participated in this Lincoln-Way tradition!

LWW students made their final trip of the year to Ascension St. Joseph’s in Joliet for the Anatomy and Physiology Medical class! Students showed their appreciation by writing thank you cards to the hospital staff who supported them throughout their experience.

Lincoln-Way East Key Club students went to Smith Crossing Senior Living to pair up with residents in a bean bag tournament! The residents and students were very excited to get together again for a fun day of friendly competition!

Lincoln-Way East students heard one of three presentations during their advisory period yesterday! Freshmen learned about study strategies for finals, sophomores and juniors attended a presentation on elective choices for next year, and seniors heard information on scholarship applications.

Yesterday was another great day of competition for our Special Olympics Bowling teams!
