A special thank you to The Happ Foundation for welcoming our Bring Change 2 Mind students to Wrigley Field earlier this month in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month!
Our students had the opportunity to engage in important conversations about mental health, share more about our BC2M club, and discuss the importance of supporting one another. They also enjoyed watching batting practice before cheering on the Cubs as they took on the Brewers under the lights at Wrigley Field.
We are grateful to The Happ Foundation for providing such a memorable and meaningful experience for our students!
Our Student Council wrapped up the school year with another successful Snack Drive for GiGi’s Playhouse Tinley Park! Students went above and beyond with this year’s collection, and their generosity will help make a positive impact for others. #BeAWarrior
⭐️ Congratulations to this year's Read for a Lifetime readers!
📚 62 teachers and students read at least four books from the state reading list this year. 11 students participated all four years, and Rebecca Stefanelli, May Frank, and Sofia Fish read all 100 books in four years.
🧡 Pick up a book list in the library to participate in the 2026-2027 program. #ReadLikeAWarrior
Be the Change ended the school year with a donation drive to benefit The Cottages senior living community. We collected bingo prizes, toiletries, and nail care and beauty items for the residents to enjoy. Students donated over 300 items throughout the school day and with the support of the LWW varsity boys volleyball program who also collected quite a few donations in partnership with their opponent Providence Catholic during their crosstown game.
Last week, leaders from the LWW Be The Change club delivered the donations and had the privilege to meet with residents from The Cottages who took a bus ride to West for a short afternoon trip.
Under the vision and leadership of the students in the LWW Be The Change club, the high school communities came together to connect with our very own senior residents in New Lenox.
Shoutout to Rileigh Pearson for bringing some extra creativity to the classroom! 🎨🧪 Rileigh is one of Mrs. Liddle’s Honors Chemistry students as well as a student in Mr. Labiola’s Drawing & Painting Advanced class. She created an amazing window cover that showcases not only her creativity, but also the dedication and talent she brings to the classroom each day. We always enjoy seeing our students help make our school community even brighter! #BeAWarrior
