April Lunch Menus
Our elementary coin collection for the United Way of McLean County raised $1052.76 last week! Our students filled the "pot of gold" each day to earn extra outdoor play time this week totaling 25 minutes.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step"
While it may not be a 1,000 miles, we are nearing 1,000 days since we started the process of creating the plans for our STEAM and GYM additions and interior renovations of our JH Science, K-12 Music, Fitness Center, and locker rooms. I am happy to report that the end is getting near!
As many of you know, we have been enjoying the completed interior renovations for a good portion of this school year and they have been such a huge blessing for the students and staff who have been using them.
The STEAM addition is in its final completion and we are hoping and planning to open the doors and to allow our K-12 Art and our Ag/Industrial Arts students to begin instruction soon after spring break. We thank the hundreds of folks who turned out for a tour of these spaces during our FFA Auction a few weeks back. For those who were not able to attend, a few pictures are included.
Lastly, our GYM addition is ready for the final push and will begin installation of the floors and then the bleachers. While we don't believe we will be able to utilize the GYM for this school year, it will be shiny, new, and ready to go for 25-26. We are planning to give tours of the GYM and the new music renovation to coincide with our Fine Arts Festival on May 8th, so mark your calendars now!
Once again, thank you for your continued patience and support as we prepare to take the final steps of this exciting journey for our district and our community! #LEXGO MINUTEMEN
Lexington CUSD #7 wants to announce that Mr. David Moore has joined our Minutemen family!
