Oak Ridge Family Focus
April 28th Edition
STEAM Night: This Thursday
On Thursday, May 2nd, North Palos 117 will hold its annual STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Mathematics) Night. This year, the event will be held at Conrady Junior High from 6-8pm. Sessions will be held for students in kindergarten through 8th grade. Be sure to get there early because the first 80 people to arrive will receive a ticket to the indoor planetarium. So bring the family and come out for a night of learning and fun!
Please see the flyer (available in English, Arabic, Polish, and Spanish) for more information.
PTA Fundraiser at the Patio
Skip cooking on Thursday, May 9th and come out to the Patio in Bridgeview between 5-9pm to treat your family to dinner. Present this flyer and 15% of the proceeds will go to the PTA and exciting activities for our students. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
It looks to be a rainy week, so don't forget your hat or umbrella!
Have a wonderful week,
