Another great day for LJHS Track & Field at the IESA State Finals! 🏅 • Mariah earned her second medal of the series, placing 6th in 7th grade girls shot put! • Our 8th grade girls 4x200m relay team — Sophie, Mariah, Avery, and Ceci — battled tough competition and ran a PR to finish 11th overall! • Harper had a strong showing in 8th grade girls discus, and earned 4th in her flight. What a way to close out the season. Proud of all of our athletes for their hard work, growth, and the way they represented LJHS all year long! 👏 Come on out to help welcome our athletes back into town around 3:15! 🚨🚔🚒

🐣 Egg-citing news from the STEM Lab! Our students recently teamed up with the 4-H University of Illinois McLean County Extension Office for the "Chick It Out" program. From studying embryo development and life cycles to engineering custom chicken coop designs, our young scientists stayed busy while waiting for the "Big Hatch." The project wrapped up with two weeks of hands-on care, giving each class the chance to look after their new feathered friends! 🐥

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!
