September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Yesterday during advisory periods, students heard a presentation from Rogers Behavior Health with information on suicide awareness and prevention, as well as tips on distress tolerance techniques to use in a time of crisis.

Mrs. Gonzales-Jensen's Medical Anatomy & Physiology class went out to their first hospital visit of the school year. The class is designed to meet the needs of senior students who have a genuine interest in a health care occupation. This course will provide the student with a strong academic background in human anatomy and physiology as well as a practical hands-on experience in a clinic/hospital setting.

Say CHEESE! Students in Ms. Solner's Intro to Foods class at West made cheesy garlic biscuits this week.

Students in the LWC Robotics club are hard at work building and designing awesome new robots!

Thanks to Phillips Chevrolet in Frankfort, members of the East baseball and softball teams were able to spend some time with White Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn last night.

Back-to-School Night was a success across the District. Parents found their way through their student's schedules and met with LW staff and teachers to get an idea of what the school day looks like. We are off to a great start to the school year!

Students in our Co-Op program heard from a variety of local businesses at the employer expo this morning! After a brief presentation about their open positions, students were able to network, apply and even interview for jobs on the spot. Thank you to our local businesses for not only participating in our expo, but also for providing these unique employment opportunities to our students.

School is in full swing, and we are already learning so much! Using tumble buggies, Mr. Lodes’ students at East were able to create and interpret a distance-time graph representing the motion of the buggy. Great job!
