Lewistown Community Unit School District #97

Happy Earth Day! Special thank you to Mrs. O's class for helping clean up the courtyard! We are now ready to plant new flowers in the Jan Braun memorial garden. Central Elementary would love donations of full sun or part shade perennials to add to the garden. Thank you to those that donated last year!
