I recently had a great week! Our family got a little kitty. We named him Heman after an 80's cartoon I grew up with. And Heman is awesome! He plays well, and he is good with our kids.

I’ll never forget taking my ACT’s. Boy, am I glad that’s over. I have empathy for all our Lincolnway students who may be stressed out over that massive test. For me, my goal in taking the ACT’s was simple - I needed to get a 24 or better. 24 was all that was required for the college I was looking to get into. 24 was it. The good thing is I did g...
