Boys 🏀 Alumni Game - TONIGHT!
Ignore the date (year 2022...) today is the day! Sign ups at the door are welcome!
Check out these fun projects created by our ag students and our preschoolers. As the preschoolers grow, this penguin will always remind their parents of their height in December 2023.
Lexington CUSD #7 will be closed from December 20 through January 2. Students return on January 4. We wish everyone a safe and memorable holiday season!
A "shout out" to the Community Band members who joined along with our students at our High School Girl's Basketball game last evening. THANK YOU for gracing us with us with your talents and some tremendous musical selections!

Not be left out, here are a few pictures of the GYM addition taken from atop the current High School Gym.
Our new STEAM addition is starting to take shape. Foundations are being poured and slab utilities will be starting soon. The pre-fabricated walls are about six weeks away. Here are some updated photos of the STEAM addition taken from the second story in the High School.
Congratulations to Mary Doll for earning an honorable mention for her "pressure" photographs during the 2023 ArtconnectED virtual photography throwdown! Her work was one of only six award recipients out of the dozens of participants across the state of Illinois. Special thanks to all who took the time to support Mary and her impressive art by voting earlier this week.

If you have been around our school the past few weeks, you may have noticed our staff dressed more comfortably and casual than usual. For the past six years, Lexington staff have participated in a fun and worthwhile event we have nicknamed "NO dress up VEMBER." For the month of November, our staff can choose to dress more casual in return for consideration to make a charitable donation to local organizations. This year, we are happy to share that over $1200 was donated. These donations will be split between the Lexington Food Pantry to help provide our local families with holiday meals and the Adopt-A-Student program hosted by our own high school student council to help provide Christmas gifts to local families in need.
Over the past six years, Lexington staff have donated more than $8500 back to our community organizations.
We share this message with you today, not seeking recognition, but rather to share the belief that it takes a village to help raise our children. Every little bit helps and our local organizations are indicating a growing need in our community. If you feel inclined, you can assist the Lexington Food Pantry by dropping off supplies or sending donations to 117 N. Vine, Lexington, IL 61753 or reaching out to one of the other dozen or more worthwhile charities in Lexington.
We wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
On Monday, November 13th we celebrated World Kindness Day with a Kindness Club meeting including 57 students and 4 staff members. It is our goal to make every day a day to spread kindness!
This morning, the administration was made aware of some recent social media posts made over the weekend regarding an individual making blanket claims about targeting LHS. Upon learning of these posts, LHS administration began working with the Lexington Police Department to assess the situation. Based upon assessments made by Lexington PD and our district, we believe that there is no credible threat or concern for student safety.
We take all threats and concerns seriously; as such, we work with law enforcement to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Unfortunately, there has been an uptick in “fake” or prank posts called “swatting” in the past weeks and months which has become an issue for a number of schools in our area as well as for many schools across the country. If you have any information or knowledge regarding these social media posts, please reach out to the Lexington Police Department at 309-365-3871.
Please feel free to join us on Friday, Nov 10th for our Veteran's Day Assembly.
