This weekend is the deadline to participate in the Sprague “Health Moves Minds Virtual Run/Walk”, a fundraiser benefiting health and physical education programs focusing on wellness and mental health. The fundraiser is designed to educate our students and staff on the importance of overall wellness and mental health with further education occurring in P.E. classes at school.

We look forward to your child’s participation in our Virtual School Run/Walk for Mental Health event! Please consider encouraging your child to ask friends, trusted neighbors, and relatives to contribute toward this worthy cause. All donations must be submitted by Monday, May 3. Only donations received in person or online by 3:00 p.m. that day will count toward our school total. Please send fitness pictures to mvanduch@d103.org or text them to 847-791-3749.

Results from the April 6 Consolidated Election show that newcomers Maria Peterson and Michael Weaver will join the District 103 Board of Education. Additionally, election results show that Kate Harper, and Anne van Gerven have been re-elected for a four-year term. Congratulations one and all!

Retiring from the Board of Education are Malathy Dwaraknath and Liang Yang. Mrs. Dwaraknath has served six years, and Mrs. Yang has served four years. The District 103 community is grateful for their dedication, vision, and leadership in selfless service for education. We wish them well in their new endeavors.

The new Board of Education for Lincolnshire-Prairie View School District 103 will be seated on Tuesday, May 4, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. at the District Office. Please join us as we welcome our new Board Members on our YouTube channel and say farewell to our retiring members.

Camp 103 Club is open to all D103 students. There are still openings in the camp. Students do not need to be in summer school to attend camp. If your child is not in summer school, please drop your child off at Sprague at 12:15 p.m. for the start of camp. Please visit Camp 103 Club for more information.

Children do NOT need to participate in 103 Club during the school year to attend Camp 103 Club. Camp 103 Club operates after District 103 summer school hours and operates out of Sprague School. Parents will need to pick up from Camp 103 Club. Please email 103 Club Director Robynn Bryant at rbryant@d103.org for more information.

The D103 Learning Fund Foundation financially supports many programs in D103, including the library at Laura B. Sprague School. Their news fundraiser, the Legacy Brick Fundraiser, allows families to make a donation to support D103 schools and have their name engraved on a brick laid in a walkway at Daniel Wright. Watch Stripes and Principal Ann Hofmeier show how this fundraiser benefits Sprague students.

The D103 PTO Executive Board appreciates all of our volunteers! We also like to acknowledge that one special person who has gone above and beyond the call of duty. If you know of a deserving person you would like to nominate for the 2020-2021 D103 PTO Scott S. Guziec Volunteer of the Year Award, please fill out the Google nomination form. Nominations are due by May 1.

Each year, the PTO recognizes a volunteer who exemplifies the commitment of Dawn Anderson to District 103. Dawn generously volunteered for District 103, the D103 PTO and in our community. We now award a volunteer that demonstrates that commitment.

Requirements for Nomination: The nominee must be someone whose youngest child is an eighth-grade student so that this volunteer will be "graduating" from District 103. The volunteer should be someone who has committed his or her time over several years to our District, including volunteering for the PTO.

Maybe this is a visible volunteer who has led many PTO events or a quiet contributor who we could always count on to fill in when needed. Like Dawn, this volunteer should have an infectious volunteer spirit. The deadline for submission is April 30. Please fill out the Google nomination form to recognize a volunteer.
