Book Fair
It is almost time for our fall bookfair. The book fair will be held the week of teacher conferences (November 14 - 20). Students will bring home a flyer with a letter attached about the book fair. The letter can also be found by following this link.
The book fair raises funds for the LMC. These funds are used to pay any fees that are part of an author visit, purchase supplies for the LMC or to purchase new books. As in the past, students may use their PushCoin account to pay for items at the book fair. Please look at the letter for more specific information and for the slip that must be returned if you want students to use their Push Coin funds. If you have any further questions please contact Donna Kouri at donna_kouri@ipsd.org

If we can support your family with any winter clothing items, including coats, gloves, boots, or snow pants, please call the main office at 630-428-6789 to be connected with Mrs. Lome, our Social Worker.
