Lincoln Park Academy’s International Baccalaureate (IB) students from grades 9–12 gathered enthusiastically for the annual IB Welcome Breakfast, celebrating the start of a new academic year. The event fostered community and connection across grade levels, with introductions of key IB program leaders and the dedicated IB Student Committee officers. Students were reminded of the exciting upcoming class trips to Washington, D.C. and Japan. The breakfast served as a warm, welcoming space for students to build relationships and feel supported in their academic journey. It was a meaningful kickoff to a year of growth, collaboration, and achievement within the International Baccalaureate community.
