End of Year Medication Reminder from Nurse Julianne

Congratulations, Class of 2029!
"Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable
But in the end, it's right
We hope you had the time of your life"
We enjoyed every moment of your journey---Congratulations to the Class of 2025!
A big THANK YOU to Angel Baker for this wonderful picture of our graduates.

Congratulations to the 2025 Illinois Principals Association student recognition winners! Each year our district recognizes two seniors, two eighth graders, and two fifth graders who demonstrate excellence and/or growth in the classroom and are involved in their school community in a number of ways. The students and their families attend a breakfast ceremony held at ISU. These six Minutemen were among 64 students recognized from central Illinois. Way to go!
If you are out and about in Lexington this morning, you will likely see our high school students and staff giving back to our school and community as we celebrate our annual day of service. This year marks the tenth year anniversary of incorporating this special day into our school calendar.
Earlier this morning, a proclamation was read "proclaiming that our annual day of service shall be name Ivy Trimmer Service Day in recognition of her enduring impact and dedication to our school and community."
This day embodies the heart and soul of thriving communities and strong schools are built on. Wherever our graduates go and whatever they do, we hope that they get involved in their communities, give back, and work to bring people together.
