Lombard Middle School welcomed a host of community members, parents, and special guests to its first VIP Breakfast on Friday, September 5. The event provided a great opportunity to strengthen connections between the school and the Galesburg community.
From 7:30 to 8:00 a.m., the school cafeteria, outdoor seating area, and library were abuzz with conversations and laughter. Students brought their breakfast with them to find their VIP, whom they had invited, and enjoy the morning with them at school.
"This isn't just about a meal," said principal Becky Hutton. "It's about opening our doors and showing the community the incredible things happening here every day. When parents, guardians, and community members are engaged, our students thrive."
The event was a special treat for many students and set a positive tone for the weeks ahead. It reminds everyone that a great school is built not just by staff and students, but by an entire community working together.
