Today the conductor of the IPO (Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra) Stilian Kirov came in and worked with our orchestra students.

Over the last two days, 120 freshmen and 90 sophomore students at East attended a voluntary practice session for their AP exams coming up next month. Freshmen AP students will take the AP Human Geography exam on May 4th, and sophomores will take the AP United States History exam on May 5th. Students practiced multiple choice, free response, document-based, and essay questions during these sessions.

Spanish two classes took advantage of the beautiful spring weather today and went outdoors. Students had fun tracing each other with chalk and labeling the body parts in Spanish.

Griffins! A reminder that the next 2 days are testing days. Tomorrow (Wednesday, April 12) is for Juniors and Sophomores only. Seniors and Freshmen are not in attendance. Thursday, April 13 is for Juniors and Freshmen.

Mrs. Poulos' Spanish 2 students playing MANO NERVIOSA to sharpen their skills before heading off to spring break.

Mr. Griggs addressed the school today about high school expectations. He shared his personal struggles with the students and reminded them to find a trusted adult at LWE when they need help. He asked the students to take ownership of their academics, social surroundings, and personal goals. He also asked the students to be accountable members of the Griffin community.

As part of the AP exam review process, English teachers Mr. Kolimas and Mrs. Nakamura led their AP Language students to conduct a rhetorical analysis on "The Great Gatsby" by writing a class essay together. The students analyzed the author's argument about the American bDream. The class divided the essay and contributed their best work from their personal essay on the rhetorical analysis. Their final day included each group presenting their portion of the essay.

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.

Our students attended a presentation regarding See Something, Say Something during their lunch/advisory hours. The Say Something program teaches high school students to recognize the warning signs of someone at-risk of hurting themselves or others and how to say something to a trusted adult to get help. Our School Resource Officer, Detective Bartunek, was the guest speaker.
