There’s one key rule at Lyons Curtain Call: You have to have fun. Founded almost 30 years ago, the summer musical theater program has always been centered around exploration and development of creative artistic skills — with an emphasis on building confidence and self-esteem no matter what a student’s skill level might be, said Mark Wlodarczyk, co-founder and program director.
All students enrolled at Lyons Elementary or Lyons MS/HS are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge each day of the 2022-2023 school year. No further action is required of families. Students will be able to participate in the meal program without having to pay a fee or submit an application.
Lyons High School celebrated their 80th Commencement Ceremony on June 24, 2022. Over sixty seniors were recognized for their achievements amid a packed auditorium of family, friends, and staff. Congratulations to all of our 2022 graduates!
After 22 years and hundreds of thousands of miles, Barbara Boulange has retired from her position as a bus driver with the district. “I loved all the kids,” Ms. Boulange said. “It’ll be my first summer off in 50 years, so I’m ready for that.” Her connection to the students on her route won’t fade anytime soon, though. She plans to attend some graduation parties this summer and knows she’ll stay in contact with some students who have already graduated from Lyons.
