Dr. Asplund is joined by Mr. Young for his weekly message today! https://youtu.be/no1v29EGiGo

Good Morning Lombard!
New Message from Mr. Young
https://youtu.be/oP7Aw9eJKOE

Dear Students and Parents,
Due to Governor Pritzker's recent order to close schools for the remainder of the school year, we will be canceling the Galesburg 8th Grade Transition Ceremony that was scheduled to be held at Galesburg High School on May 15, 2020. The health and safety of our students and family members is our greatest priority, and convening a large crowd in the high school auditorium is not safe during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
I firmly believe that our students will move on from this "missed moment" and continue to pursue their goals at Galesburg High School and beyond.
Sincerely,
Nick Young
