Lincoln-Way East

East students attended a See Something, Say Something presentation facilitated by SSO Faculty during their advisory/lunch period. 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.

Lincoln-Way East continues in our annual fundraiser as a school for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. LLS has proudly published their 2024 annual report that includes recent updates about blood cancer research, treatments, and patient support. In addition, this report shows the tremendous impact OUR fundraising has on transforming lives.

The theme of this years’ report is “United in Action” – this is fitting because through the hard efforts and impact of OUR support, WE are fueling the LLS mission to bring an end to all blood cancers.
