Lincoln-Way students enrolled in the Freshman Start summer program got a great introduction to high school! During the program, Lincoln-Way teachers and staff presented on different electives and administrative departments. Each presenter gave an overview of their department and taught a lesson. The department overviews included a tour of the school, introduction to SSO, a lesson from PPS about stress management, and an overview from our School Resource officers.
Teachers taught lessons in art, music, business, wood working, reading, and foods. The students also completed volunteer hours needed for graduation at Feed My Starving Children.
Thank you to the LW staff members and incoming freshmen who participated this summer!

After taking three woodshop courses as well as engineering physics, LWW senior Andrew Stepien created this drum for his independent study project. The drum took approximately 5 months to build under the supervision of his faculty mentor Nick Schroder. Great job!
Lincoln-Way students enrolled in the teaching internship class had a great year gaining confidence in the classroom! Of the 27 students who participated this year, 25 of them will continue on to major in education, one will major in speech pathology and the other in child psychology. All plan to continue working within the school system.
We are so proud of these future educators who are heading into life after Lincoln-Way with a head start on their careers.
