LWE students from Argonne National Labs ESRP (Exceptional Student Research Program) presented the results of their research, and their experiment conducted using the APS cyclotron at Argonne to their parents and the East Science Department.
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.




Mr. Fiore and Mr. Dewolf's World History classes tracked explorers' explorations through Google Earth.

Mrs. Cavanaugh and Mr. Newcomb from the English department presented to the LWE staff on ChatGPT. They shared information about how AI presents challenges to teaching writing, but also ways in which educators can use AI to help students develop a writing process, get feedback, differentiate learning, and think more critically about writing. They demonstrated how to use ChatGPT as a tool similar to a calculator. Teaching students to show their work and provide evidence are examples how educators can teach students to properly use this technology.

LWE chorale students celebrated their hard work during their annual Spring Choir Concert tonight at LWE. Many wonderful selections were performed in honor of recently deceased Mr. Michael Kotze -- father, husband and music booster stalwart.


LWE's Muslim Student Association (MSA) hosted an Arabic-style dinner to to some of our amazing teachers. The MSA leaders switched places with their teachers for the night and led an engaging presentation on the Islamic holy month, Ramadan. The students explained that many Muslims observe Ramadan by fasting from sunrise to sunset. They wanted to bring awareness to their faith and how they manage their fasting while being a student at LWE. MSA closed their presentation with a review game called Kahoot! And tested the teachers' knowledge on their presentation. The teachers gave MSA's Ramadan presentation an A+!
