Congratulations to the Lincoln-Way East Class of 2024! 💙
We sent our seniors off in style this week! From pancakes to picnics, our seniors spent time together signing yearbooks and enjoying their last few moments of high school. We can't wait to celebrate the Class of 2024 at graduation tomorrow!

LWW librarian Mrs. Bromann-Bender presented to U.S. History classes about podcasting as part of the media literacy curriculum. Mr. Cupp’s classes were then able to create podcasts exploring a moment in history in which they would have wanted to live. A huge thank you to the Lincoln-Way Foundation for providing the funding for the podcasting equipment to allow our students this unique learning opportunity!
In order to raise money for classroom enhancements such as this, the Foundation puts on several events throughout the year. The next is Summerfest! Summerfest is a casual night out at CD&ME in Frankfort. Class reunions are welcomed to join in on the fun and take the work out of organizing an event. Three bands are lined up for the August 9th event including Caught Steelin, South City Revival and Beyond the Blonde. Tickets are available for $35 but only for a limited time so get yours early! https://summerfest2024.givesmart.com
A special thank you to Foundation Partner and Summerfest host CD& ME!
Can you believe it? Final exams are NEXT WEEK! Check out the schedule here. Good luck, Lincoln-Way!
