We're very proud of our 7th Grade Track & Field athletes today as they competed in the IESA State Meet! 🏅 Mariah earned a State Medal, placing 7th in Discus! 💪 Adam showed incredible grit and represented us with pride in Discus. 🔥 Elizabeth missed qualifying for finals by just .4 seconds — an amazing effort at the IESA State Stage in her first year! Help us welcome these athletes home tonight around 8:15 on Main Street! #LEXGO

Kindergarten students were able to use their math, writing, and sorting skills to run a grocery store this week in Mrs. Chapman's classroom. This was a fun culminating activity for students and teachers!

Lexington High School Graduation

Miss Lauritson and her family are huge advocates for rescue dogs. This week, Miss L read a book about a homeless dog that wrote letters to everyone in his community asking for someone to adopt him. She went on to explain how fostering and adopting works, how it's impacted her life, and how they can help too. Yesterday, with the help of Miss L's parents, the students of KL got to have their own dog adoption experience. Everyone had so much fun!

Our 2nd graders wrapped up their ocean science unit with an exciting trip to Chicago's Shedd Aquarium! Over the past few months, students have been learning about the diversity of Earth’s habitats and ended their study with a deep dive into the ocean. During their visit, they had the opportunity to see many of the amazing sea animals they learned about up close and in person. It was a fun and memorable way to bring their learning to life!

The 10 Days to Summer Countdown is in full swing in Mrs. Roberts's first grade class. Last week the class participated in joke day. Students brought a joke from home and read them to the class in disguise faces! There were so many belly laughs! They also wrote knock knock jokes and tongue twisters. It was such a comedic day!

Fourth graders spent time this month working on vertical surfaces in math in collaborative learning groups and then relaxed and enjoyed the baby chicks in the ag shop. Great job working hard, fourth grade!

Rolling, gliding, and growing! 🛼✨ Our elementary crew had an absolute blast during Skating Week! It’s been incredible to watch their confidence soar as they master new gross motor skills—from finding their balance to navigating those turns. There were plenty of giggles, a few wobbles, and a whole lot of progress. Check out these smiles and smooth moves! 👇

Wheels, Deals, and Book Fair Feels! Join us again tonight for Family Night from 5:00-7:00 PM for roller skating, book fair, PTO spiritwear sales, and a PTO meal (*if advance ordered).
