LWC was featured on CBS Live this morning! The varsity girls soccer team discussed their great success both on and off the field this year. Not only is the team 11-1-2 so far this season, but they have also been collecting food pantry items to give back to the community. They were joined by several student musicians and their beloved mascot for a true celebration of our school community.

The conductor of the IPO (Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra), Stilian Kirov, came in today to work with our East orchestra students.
Over the last two days, 120 freshmen and 90 sophomore students at East attended a voluntary practice session for their AP exams coming up next month. Freshmen AP students will take the AP Human Geography exam on May 4th, and sophomores will take the AP United States History exam on May 5th.

Ms. Premo took six Griffins to Argonne's Science Careers in Search of Women (SCSW) conference yesterday. During the conference, the girls listened to a keynote speaker and then separated into breakout sessions based on their interests. During these breakout sessions, they were able to talk to women in their specific fields of interest to learn about different science-based careers. The students also had an opportunity to tour different areas of Argonne National Lab to see what those careers look like in action.

Choir students from East and West visited Disney's Imagination Campus over spring break. They participated in a vocal clinic with a Disney cast member, rehearsing two songs from 'Beauty and the Beast' while also providing foley work (sound effects). Both the vocals and sound effects were dubbed into the original 1991 animated classic and played back to an amazed group of choir students!
Have a great break - see you on April 10th!
LWE students from the Argonne National Labs Exceptional Student Research Program presented the results of their research and their experiment conducted using the APS cyclotron at Argonne to their parents and to the East science department staff this week.
The experiment involved collecting data from the APS, which provides bond lengths and angles for atoms within the protein. This information is refined and entered into a 3-D molecular modeling program in order to map the crystalline structure of the protein. There are many ways in which this information will be utilized including: creation of vaccines, renewable energy sources, food production, and insight into biological processes to name just a few.
Lincoln-Way West students Kaleigh Buda, Maddy Munch, and Evan Bonnema achieved a first place exemplary rating for their entry in the IHSA state drama short film competition.

Director Kaleigh Buda and actors Maddy Munch and Evan Bonnema are the first students from West to enter this competition, and we couldn’t be prouder of such a talented trio!
