The Annual Vision Screening for Lewistown School District will be Oct 22nd and 23rd. This year I am taking on this role and I am so excited! If your child fails any part of the screening process I will rescreen them 10-14 days later. If they still fail a portion of the testing a form will be mailed to you so further follow up can be made. This is a screening only and not diagnostic testing so eye exams are still mandatory for Kindergarten and students entering an illinois school for the first time. Any questions feel free to call or email me at adowning@lewistown97.net.
Check out a great opportunity for our future LVC baseball players.
Congrats to LVC Golfer Drake Hanson on shooting a 79 at Sectionals and advancing to State!!!
