Mr. Matt Littlefield, LCPC, CADC, from Great Changes Counseling in Mokena, presented to Lincoln-Way West students today to help bring awareness to drug prevention and provide resources for support as a follow-up to Red Ribbon Week.

LWE Library hosted its first coffee house before school today. The library aides served up some tasty coffee to our fellow Griffins while listening to Mr. Teare and his studio guitar class play some cool jazz. We hope to see these musicians come back and play for us again. They were fantastic!

The Lincoln-Way East High School Welding program can take their welding classes outdoors thanks to Lowes Home Improvement for providing the funds to accomplish this amazing opportunity. The project, built by current and former welding students with assistance from the Pipefitters Local 597, created an outstanding opportunity for our current and future welding students. -- A one of a kind outdoor welding lab, complete with engine driven welders. The National SkillsUSA organization made this possible as they are the lynch pin between industry leaders and technical education. SkillsUSA's Framework Model is Technical Skills, Workplace Skills, and Personal Skills. All three of these combined equates to helping our students become career-ready.
