Our principals are showing their LW pride this morning! Happy Friday! 🔴🔵🟠
Have a great spring break! Classes resume Monday, April 7th.
On March 8th, the Lincoln-Way 210 Foundation for Education hosted its annual Dinner Gala at Odyssey Country Club, raising an impressive $73,000 for student grants and scholarships through auctions, raffles, and donations.
One standout auction item was a live-edge coffee table, handcrafted by Lincoln-Way West Woodworking 2 and Welding 3 students. The walnut wood, sourced from Lake Geneva, was sold at a generous discount by a former high school shop student who loved the cause.
Guests admired the table throughout the evening before it sold for $700. Lincoln-Way is grateful to the Foundation for its support and proud of the students for putting their skills to the test in such a meaningful way.
📢 Online registration for the 2025-2026 school year is now open! Log in to Skyward Family Access to get started.
‼️Reminder: Only students who have been registered will be able to see their class schedule when they are released in August!
