Our Kids care about Helping Others! Action Needed!
Dear Anderson families,
Our after school Community Service club has organized a canned food and non-perishable food drive. We are collecting this food to donate to the Northern Illinois Foodbank. We will be collecting from Monday, November 18th through Friday, November 22nd. Each class will have its own box labeled in the hallway near the front office. Please drop off your donations there. The class with the most donations will win an ice cream party. Thank you for your help!
Reading Room Volunteers
Do you have 10 fingers, two eyes and a love for helping others?! Well, then we have a great volunteer project for you! The Reading Specialists are looking for a few parents who would be willing to make copies of lesson plans and stick labels on folders. This work will be a huge help to all teachers! If you are interested, please email Meaghan Schmidt at meaghan.schmidt@d303.org. Thank you!

The Salvation Army’s annual Jim Wheeler Toys for Kids program is once again in full swing.
