These three young men just finished basic training for the Marines at Camp Pendleton last week. Caden, Reuben, and Landon---THANK YOU for your service!

We continue to strive to have all former LHS graduates who have served our country be added to our Wall of Honor. If you know of anyone who fits this description, please help us get them honored.

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.
