MILWAUKEE — The community is stepping up to support teachers from Lincoln Avenue School as they work to rebuild their classrooms after a fire in June left the building a total loss. Todd Gross, a Lincoln Avenue School alumnus, said the response from the community has been overwhelming. "The lighting of the Hoan Bridge is just so symbolic to start the school year and really give them motivation to carry through," Gross said. "It's a connection of community, of perseverance and pushing through and just showing the support through Lincoln all just in one light show. It's such an amazing thing to have going there with the Hoan Bridge and lighting it up.
