Look who's "Crushin' It" in JH this month!
The National Honor Society has partnered with the Junior High to recognize students for having excellent character. Each month, students will be nominated by their teachers and then recognized by NHS students by giving them a certificate and a purple 'CRUSH".
For September, the theme was organization!
Scarlett M. always comes to school prepared. She works hard to make sure her assignments are completed and continues to work on additional projects when she has free time.
Jade M. keeps track of all of her work and she consistently uses her class time wisely. She works hard to stay ahead of her work.
Ceci D. does an excellent job gathering information from coaches and teachers for the daily announcements. She can always be found using her work time to study and to prepare for tests or projects.

Lexington Community Members Needed!
Lexington Schools are committed to helping students explore career pathways and connect what they are learning in the classroom to the world of work. We know the best way to do this is by learning directly from professionals like you--our own community members!
This short survey will help us understand the many ways you might be interested in getting involved—whether that’s speaking in a classroom, participating in a career fair, sharing job opportunities, or offering job shadowing experiences.
Your time, expertise, and willingness to connect with students can make a lasting impact. Thank you for supporting our school community and inspiring the next generation of leaders!
Reach out to Mrs. Westergreen, our College and Career Readiness Coordinator, for any questions or concerns. Please complete the survey by October 31, 2025.

We welcomed Terrence Talley today as a guest presenter who created age-appropriate messages to our students regarding positive mental health approaches to life and school.

Mr. Talley is also presenting tonight (9/23) at 7:00 PM at the Lexington Community Center for anyone interested in attending.

September Lunch Menus
We won the Gold! Our Preschool for All (PFA) program has been awarded the Gold Circle of Quality by ExceleRate Illinois. This is the highest rating an early childhood program can earn. It reflects our district’s strong commitment to providing the very best educational experiences for our youngest learners. This recognition shows that our PFA program not only meets but exceeds the state’s standards in areas such as teaching and learning, family engagement, professional development, and continuous improvement. We are proud of this recognition and remain committed to delivering excellent learning opportunities for all students in Lexington!
It was a book giveaway day! Lexington PTO is working with Reading Is Fundamental, a leading organization focused on childhood literacy, to offer our students a reading program called Books for Ownership. A key component of the program is providing every child the opportunity to choose books to take home and own. Students in grades K - 5 had an opportunity to choose their first book for ownership today during school.
Welcome back, Minutemen! We loved seeing our K-5 student body in our brand new gym space!
August Lunch Menus
As we turn the calendar to August and look forward to the 25-26 school year, we want to take a moment to recognize how quickly the time flies from preschool to senior year. Enjoy this fun video we created last spring with our new elevator! Thank you to Mrs. Long for creating the video and Mr. Brown for providing the music performed by the high school choir.
