This weekend, we celebrated the many cultures that make our Waukegan community so special at our Annual Multicultural Fair! Families came together to share food, traditions, music, performances, and more.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the day such a meaningful celebration. Take a look at some moments from the event.

Today was a special day at Lewis Middle School as we officially cut the ribbon on the new Kaitlin’s Kitchen! Several years in the making, the new space is named in honor of former Oakdale teacher Kaitlin Schaumberger and was made possible through the incredible support of her family and friends, along with the dedication of the Lewis team, including Principal Molly Schaefer and Botany teacher Mr. Brian Greene.
Kaitlin’s Kitchen will give students new opportunities to take what they grow in the Lewis greenhouse and bring it into the kitchen, expanding their hands-on learning and helping make an already unique program even more robust. Following today’s ceremony, students had the chance to show off the new kitchen and some of their culinary skills for guests.
Thank you to Kaitlin’s family and friends and everyone who helped make this vision a reality. We were also grateful to be joined by so many special guests, including Congressman Brad Schneider and Mayor Sam Cunningham, to help celebrate this exciting new chapter at Lewis.
