100th Anniversary
On Saturday, May 17, the yearlong celebration of Leyden High School District 212’s 100th Anniversary continues with its final event, a community picnic on the grounds of East Leyden. The entire community is invited to this free event featuring a cookout and plenty of family-friendly activities to enjoy.
Free hot dogs and drinks will be provided and food trucks will be onsite for an additional charge. Future Eagles from Leyden’s partner districts will provide entertainment. Games, a traveling exhibit and a time capsule presentation are all included.
East Leyden is located at 3400 Rose Street in Franklin Park, and the event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the annex, across the street from the school behind the main parking lot. The event will be held rain or shine, with an indoor, onsite location if needed. Everyone is welcome.
This event is proudly sponsored by SPM Architects.
