I like this vocational school idea. Not all kids are suited for college. You are right on. It's unfortunate that most of those vocational positions in the district (and other districts) have been cut due to the state's underfunding. more ›

Boys' Soccer Teams Raise Money for Cancer Research
Honor wasn't the only thing at stake at the Lincoln-Way North vs. Lincoln-Way West boys' soccer team.
Students used the Oct. 2 game as an opportunity to raise awareness--and a little money--for cancer research and treatment. “This game was a great avenue to teach our athletes that there is something more to fight for other than a win or a loss,” said Mike Murphy, head soccer coach at Lincoln-Way North. “As a coach, we stress sportsmanship and making the correct decisions on and off the field,” he added. “This game reinforced the true principles of interscholastic sports.” Students raised $700 at the match by hosting a raffle.

Last month, I went on a trip to France and Spain that was led by Señora Egnatz. While I am very competent in French, I don't speak a lick of Spanish. All of her students were very helpful in the country and they all speak of her very highly. Her students revere her. In my experiences speaking with her, she has always been very kind and is always willing to lend a hand. She deserves this! more ›
