Student Council is growing next year to include 7th and 8th graders! This is a great opportunity for younger students to get involved, build leadership skills, and start preparing for the responsibilities of being a freshman and future class officers.
By joining Student Council early, students will learn how to represent their classmates, organize events, and be a positive voice in our school community. Your dedication, leadership, and commitment to your classmates have earned you this important role. We look forward to seeing the positive impact you will make next school year.
Well done, representatives!

Two of our ELP students recently put their creativity and leadership into action in a fun and meaningful way! After learning how to make balloon animals, they visited our preschool classrooms to celebrate their Letter B Day.
They created a special balloon for each preschool student and excitement to their day. It was a wonderful example of older students sharing their talents and spreading joy throughout our school community.
Great job representing ELP with kindness and creativity!

Thursday was an incredible day at Central Headquarters for the UIC annual Art Show!
We had the honor of hosting 160 student agents from across 11 conference schools [aka agencies] for a spy-themed day full of creativity, connection, and collaboration—and they absolutely delivered.
🎨 Student artwork filled our gym with talent and originality for all to view.
👦👧 High school agents led an incognito art project and inspired our junior agents in elementary training centers.
🕶️ Agents completed hands-on missions across multiple creative labs in our discovery zones. Collecting clues along the way to break the code at the end in order to claim their prize.
🌟 Our "Creative Intelligence Agents" [local artists] and "Advanced Training Agents" [college art programs] shared their passion and opened doors to future possibilities. Huge thank you for their time, talents and dedication to our youth.
🏆 We celebrated outstanding work during our Agent Commendations ceremony featuring an amazing backdrop created earlier in the day with our elementary students.
But more than anything—
This day was about confidence, creativity, community, and leaving a positive mark in every space they enter. Thank you to all agents, educators, artists, and supporters who made this mission unforgettable.
Central Headquarters is proud of you.
…until next mission…
