Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Girls flag football soars into third season (lionnewspaper.com) — Lyons Township's girls flag football program is entering its third season with growing success, from regional titles to a massively popular summer youth camp. Coaches and players describe how nearly 200 girls now try out, many from Lyons-area families, as the still-new sport offers a fresh, welcoming way for local students to compete and build community.
• New Student Council advisor provides fresh leadership (lionnewspaper.com) — Lyons Township High School's new Student Activities Director and Student Council advisor, Peter Foradas, is reshaping student leadership by prioritizing student voice and more energetic events. Working with staff and students, he's helping replace the traditional pep rally with a new Fall Fest and pushing to boost involvement, giving Lyons-area students more say in school life.
• Drug referral spike attributed to new systems (lionnewspaper.com) — Lyons Township High School has more than doubled its drug-related referrals after installing vape detectors, expanding cameras, and adding more student assistants in restrooms. Administrators say the increase reflects better detection and a shift toward restorative interventions instead of suspensions, aiming to connect Lyons-area students with support, education, and healthier choices rather than simply removing them from school.
