Tonight was the end of an era for Lexington Girls Basketball. Bill Elias has selflessly served the student-athletes of Lexington Jr. / Sr. High School for the last 29 years as a coach; 11 of those being the Varsity Girls Coach and many years coaching both JH & JV. Thank you Bill!

Every year the Heart of Illinois Conference hosts an Art Festival at Illinois State University. The festival includes a keynote address from a local artist, two art-making workshops taught by ISU art education students, and hosts an impressive exhibition of student work from across 13 HOIC schools.
This year senior Regan Barrett earned best in 2D Mixed Media for her work titled "May" and Erin Lowery received an honorable mention for her work titled "West COASTER Burger." This exhibition has a virtual format (which can be found at https://hoicartfestival.weebly.com/2024-exhibition.html) as well as a physical exhibition of award winners and selected works at the ISU student gallery located in Julian Hall. The physical exhibition will be on display this year from Feb. 20th-March 1st.

Our kindergarten students and teachers have aged overnight! We celebrated the 100th day of school today with these 100 year olds.
Today, our Lexington art students got to learn from the contemporary artist we've been learning about in art class! Ann B. Coddington is a master fiber artist that shared her passion for art, making, and the environment with us. She even demonstrated a few of her methods and showed us a new 7-string round braiding method called kumihimo. To see more work by Ann, she can be found on instagram @abcoddington
