Dear neighbors,
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan this week recognized
335 schools as
National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2015. Sixteen Illinois schools were nominated for the award this year, but
just one Chicago Public School . . . our very own LaSalle Language Academy!
This is a tremendous achievement and we're very proud of LaSalle students, teachers and staff. The National Blue Ribbon is awarded based on a school's overall academic excellence. National Blue Ribbon Schools demonstrate that all students can achieve to high levels, which LaSalle has demonstrated year after year.
Last March, former Principal Elisabeth Heurtefeu submitted the Blue Ribbon application to the U.S. Department of Education, and this year, new Principal Beth Bazer has continued the success of the school.
Community members are invited to join elected officials and the entire school on Friday, October 2nd at 9:30am at the LaSalle playground to celebrate this achievement.
A big congratulations to the entire LaSalle Language Academy community!

Just as LaSalle Language Academy is achieving great heights, so too, is Lincoln Park High School. The
launch of #1school1community was a great success, with 23 classrooms and two freshman lunchrooms painted!
Click here for photos from the
inaugural
initiative
.
On Saturday, October 3rd, join neighbors, parents, teachers and businesses to continue painting classrooms in the school and help make the initiative a success for our kids and our neighborhood.
Volunteers are needed for two shifts on Saturday, either
8am - 12pm or
12pm - 4pm.
Consider joining to make Lincoln Park High School a place where students can receive a world class education in their backyard.
