The Final Countdown...2022
Happy Weekend Spartan Families:
A great week of engaging learning experiences, fun club meetings and intense athletic competitions was capped off by an impromptu fire alarm on a cold and snowy day.
As we head into the weekend, we are looking forward to a busy and exciting 8 days of school with our Winter Concert, a visit from the Deerfield High School Choraliers, a Student Council Door Decorating Competition and a special World Cup inspired students v. staff soccer match on the schedule before we head out to winter break. In the spirit of the holiday season, we are also hoping to support some of our local families through our annual D109 Holiday Gift Drive. For information on how you can help in our mission to make sure no family goes without during the holidays, please see the link below.
We wish you a warm and wonderful weekend!
