Welcome to the Prairie Point Panther Press!
Kendall County Food Pantry Toy Drive
Thank you for your generosity again this holiday season.
Many children within the surrounding Kendall County have something to smile about each holiday season thanks to the OESPA membership and so many others who make generous contributions each and every year. Due to the tremendous success and the desire to continue filling needs, the OESPA participated in its 8th Annual Toy Drive with the Kendall County Food Pantry to provide presents for local children this holiday season. The OESPA has provided wonderful support for this special charity and participation is always appreciated, especially by those who are in need.
Thank you for supplying Hats & Mittens for the Oswego Optimist Club
Knitting Club
I have sent a photo from our last meeting of the knitting club. Students are wearing hats and scarves they knit them selves. Also pictured are some of the 80 baby hats knitted for the American Heart Association!
Cafeteria Menus are now in Peachjar
Starting with January 2018, the Cafeteria Breakfast and Lunch Menus will be sent to parents via email through the Peachjar Flyer delivery system. We will no longer be sending a hard copy home with the students in their Thursday folders. The Menus can also be found on the district website at https://www.sd308.org/Page/264.
