Great job by the @ParkViewCCSD89 fourth graders presenting the school's Hobby Hangout Club at tonight's Board meeting. At the club, students meet to work on creative, skill-building activities that don't use electronics.

Thank you to all the @glencrestms students who stayed after school today to pack food and other donations for the Glen House Food Pantry. More than 1,000 donations were collected through a schoolwide competition between sixth, seventh, and eighth graders!

Who will win the Glen Crest service project challenge? Through December 5, Spartans are collecting food, personal supplies, and birthday-bag items in an all-school competition to benefit Glen House Food Pantry. Learn more: bit.ly/47UlvKL

Thank you to the Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts for leading the flag ceremony at @ArborViewSchool this afternoon. On Veterans Day, Scouts gave the school new American and Illinois flags, then shared certificates with family members who are, or have, served.

Our class teamed up with our first grade buddies to make thank you cards for Veterans Day 🇺🇸 We’re so proud of their creativity and gratitude!

It was an honor and a privilege to welcome those who have served in the military to @glencrestms for the annual Veterans Day assembly this morning. Students and staff were grateful that many family members who have served were able to participate in the ceremony.
