Future Knights, Griffins and Warriors attended the Class of 2029 Open House last night! We had a wonderful time showcasing all of the opportunities Lincoln-Way has to offer and helping them prepare for their freshman year.
Lincoln-Way students attended the SWSC Visual Arts Conference, where they had an amazing opportunity to expand their artistic skills and connect with fellow art enthusiasts.
The keynote speaker at the event was Lincoln-Way East alumnus Chuck Anderson. Chuck graduated from Lincoln-Way in 2004 and created a name for himself as a top graphic designer in Chicago. He has worked on designs for Microsoft, Nike, Apple, and McDonalds to name a few.
Congratulations to our 'Best of School' winners at the conference:
LWC — Rory Loyd
LWE — Mackenzie Sharpe
LWW — Sydney Pohlmann

Some of our Warriors experienced an unforgettable morning with the legendary Daniel 'Rudy' Ruettiger last week!

For ONE NIGHT ONLY, come see students from all three LW schools perform Legally Blonde: The Musical at East this Saturday (1/4)! The show begins at 7PM - purchase your tickets here: https://lincoln-way.ticketleap.com/legallyblonde/
We are honored that our fall musical, Hadestown: Teen Edition, was selected to perform at the Illinois High School Theatre Festival. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we were unable to secure the performance rights to bring the production to the festival. While this was a disappointment, we saw it as an opportunity to rise to the occasion and showcase the resilience, talent, and determination of our students.
With the incredible support of the festival, we are excited to present Legally Blonde: The Musical as our new festival show! Over the last month, our students have poured their hearts into learning this fun, fast-paced, and inspiring production. Before heading to the festival, we invite you to join us for ONE hometown performance of Legally Blonde: The Musical to cheer on these hardworking and dedicated students.
Check out your January upcoming events, and have a great rest of your winter break! ❄⛄
We are so proud of the LWMB for their wonderful performance in the Rose Parade this morning 🌹
