In front of a packed gymnasium filled with former students, retired faculty, and music teachers from across the District, Mrs. Leslie Thornton, a beloved 33-year music teacher, received a heartwarming tribute from the students of Everett Elementary during her farewell Spring Sing. Featuring a variety of patriotic music, the event, held on Friday, May 10, included a touching surprise for Mrs. Thornton, as the young singers held up congratulatory signs and performed a special retirement song in her honor.

Friday, June 7, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Guess the weight of the log in the Log Loader, help us name a snow plow, and so much more, at Meet the Fleet!

Walk your wheels applies to everyone, Lake Forest! Riders must dismount and walk their devices within the Central Business District boundaries to avoid a fine of up to $300 per offense. Last year, Lake Forest City Council approved an ordinance prohibiting the use of recreational powered devices (electric scooters, electric bikes, etc.) on sidewalks in the Central Business District.
