Volunteer
Spotlight
Many thanks to the Parent
Alliance, the Block Party Committee and the countless volunteers who donated
their time, energy, and wonderful food to the event.The block party was full of
fun for the whole family. From face painting to our community art project,
dancing and Tae Kwon Do, the evening was action packed. Thanks to everyone who helped support this
community wide event. Enjoy the photos courtesy of Mark Treppa!
John Joyce, father of Children’s
House student Stefan, brought in his guitar and sang for the students in Room
101. The kids had a blast dancing,
singing, and listening to the wonderful, up-beat songs John shared. If your family would like to hear John and
his band, they will have a CD Release Show at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 29
at Schubas, 3159 N. Southport, Chicago.
Picture
Day
School Picture Day will be held
on Wednesday, September 25. All of the
students will be photographed individually and class pictures will be
taken. Some sibling pictures may be
taken on Picture Day if time permits, butthey are scheduled to take place on ReTake
Day (not yet scheduled).This year, parents will have the option of pre-ordering
and paying for their child's picture. The Inter-State photographers will choose
the best shot for you and print the pictures up immediately. Or, you can wait for proofs, and then place
an order on line. A flyer explaining the process was placed in the parent
folders on September 17th. If you would like the Pre-Order option,
please return your order form to the office by Tuesday, September 24.
If your child does not ordinarily
attend school on Wednesday, please bring him/her to school on Wednesday morning
so that s/he can be part of the class picture.
Getting
to Know You:
Each week this section will highlight one staff member and their answer to the
question: How do you express your creativity?
Katie
Rose, Upper Elementary Directress
I grew up with a father who
absolutely, 100% delighted in stories and the telling of stories. The more
ornate or flat out ridiculous the better. As a result, one of the modes of
creativity I take the greatest joy in is the sharing of tales, be it over a cup
of coffee or just in passing. The spoken word never ceases to tickle the mind
and engage the heart!In addition to spinning yarns, I do dearly love printing
on both paper and fabric, attractively organizing my portable natural history
museum and drawing the world about me.
Recycled
Paper Donations
Our supply of recycled paper is running
low - the younger students use a lot of it for drawing and coloring. If you have a supply of slightly used printer
paper (clean on one side) or obsolete letterhead we could recycle, please drop
it off in the office and it will be put to good use.
Club
