We are happy to report that we have arranged one final opportunity for our Seniors to have a yearbook photo taken!

Seniors who have not yet taken a yearbook photo have been assigned a time to do this. An appointment schedule has been shared directly with students via their school email account. To minimize the loss of instructional time, appointment times have been scheduled during study halls or lunchtimes when possible. Below are photo details:

• Monday, November 8, 2021
• In the LRC
• The photographer will take 4 pictures, head & shoulder only.
• On November 15 (approximately), you may log into Rootstudios.com to pick the photo that you wish to appear in the yearbook, and you will be able to purchase photos if you wish.
  
• If you experience difficulties logging in to the Root Studios website or have further questions regarding ordering photos, please contact customer service at Root Studios at (815) 433-1766.

If your student needs to alter their appointment time, or has not yet taken a yearbook photo and needs to be added to the schedule, please have them reach out to Mrs. Boynton (lindsay.boynton@d303.org) or Libby Sutherland (elizabeth.sutherland@d303.org).

We celebrate Veterans Day to honor the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who put their lives on the line to defend the freedoms that we so often take for granted. All in all, we celebrate Veterans Day to give back to the people who gave parts of their lives for our freedom and safety and to raise awareness about Veteran issues. It is also important that we read some of the many great books about the lives of our Veterans and all they did for our country.

Shoot Like a Girl: One Woman's Dramatic Fight in Afghanistan and on the Home Front by Mary Jennings Hegar “After being commissioned into the U.S. Air Force, Hegar was selected for pilot training by the Air National Guard, finished at the top of her class, then served three tours in Afghanistan flying combat search and rescue missions, culminating in a harrowing rescue attempt that would earn her the Purple Heart as well as the Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor. In Shoot like A Girl, Hegar takes the reader on a dramatic journey through her military career: an inspiring, humorous, and thrilling true story of a brave, high-spirited, and unforgettable woman who has already spent much of her life ready to sacrifice everything for her country, her fellow man, and her sense of justice.” GoodReads
