The Lincoln-Way West library held a chalk art contest in October. Students created drawings with chalk in teams or as individuals. Students voted on which design they liked the most, whether it was on social media or by viewing the art in person the next day. There was a battle for first place on Instagram, but even so, it ended in a tie between The Joker by Mia Avgeris, McKenzie Enright, Laura Dory, and Lasia W, and The Bee by Josie Joyce and Jalina Klinger. Second place was awarded to The Bird by Adrian Acosta. Third place went to The Lincoln-Way West Chill Guy by Hannah Farr, Alyssa Caruso, Delaney Stanek, Sofia Cosentino, and Kayla Kerner. Another tie for fourth place was awarded to The Balloon Dog by Sophia Rios and Brooklyn Ludwig, and The Album Cover by Jacob Mitchell. Another chalk art contest will take place in the spring of 2025.
