The temperatures are dropping and you’re already peering outside your window, looking for the first signs of spring. Not so fast.

But winter also brings opportunities for a wide array of great outdoor activities, including a traditional favorite — ice skating. As soon as the temperature drops a bit more, Atwater and Lake Bluff Elementary will pull out the water hoses and create patches of ice on their playgrounds. Contact the main office at either school for more details. Just across the village's borders, Lake Park offers up public skating at 2975 N. Lake Park Rd. on weekdays 3 to 8 p.m. and …

Parents, teachers and students took the first peak at a new mural coating the archway just inside the elementary school at an unveiling ceremony Tuesday night.
A year in the making; Lake Bluff Elementary literally trumpeted in a new piece of artwork adorning the archway immediately inside its entrance. "It's beautiful," said Principal Kirk Juffer. "It's going to say children creativity and good energy for everyone who walks through those doors. I feel it's a pretty strong statement about the arts here in Shorewood and the arts at Lake Bluff." Parents, teachers and students attended an unveiling ceremony Tuesday evening on the front steps of the school. Trumpeters led the large crowd into the school as they took an initial peak at the new mural.
