Starting Saturday (March 19), downtown Lake Bluff will be transformed into a showcase of area students' projects.
Twenty-one stores will participate in displaying Lake Bluff School District 65 and Lake Forest High School student projects of all types - Telecom films to watch, art and poetry to delight, science and technology to intrigue and social studies projects covering real-life issues faced in our community to challenge the observer. The artwork will remain until April 4.
Come into town, pick up a “Passport” at a participating store, bank or restaurant and begin your tour to see the amazing things teachers and students are doing. Have fun touring the stores to view these displays, have your passport stamped at each location, then drop off a completed entry at the library for a drawing of gifts and services from downtown merchants on April 4.
