Highlights from the Week
A short but mighty week. Our third graders had a field trip to Wheaton Warrenville South High School today to see the Elephant & Piggy play. It was a big hit! We loved the cooler temperatures the past few days, which made recess even more fun! We had our first practice fire drill this week and the students did an incredible job exiting the building quickly, quietly, and safely. And today we had our September All School Meeting outside, where we celebrated our September birthdays and learned more about appropriate recess behavior from Mr. Cocat, Mr. Lather, Mrs. Mahler, and Mrs. Kelleher. We are looking forward to our Bower Run-A-Thon next Wednesday!

Safety Reminders
- If you drop your child off at Cerny Park in the morning, please remind your child to walk on the sidewalk. Parents have reported concerns about students walking behind the cars.
- If your child is a car rider, please do not get out of the car and walk up to get your child. We can't have children walking between the cars to get to a parked cars.
- If you are picking up your child by car... please be patient- with the other cars, the staff who are working, and the students. It's not a fast process, and our top priority is safety of students. We are moving over a hundred cars through in a 15 min time window. Thanks for your help!
