We are excited to be entering the weekend, the month of March and Seussical fun!  As you know, we are in the final stages of bringing our community BIG EVENT, Seussical the Musical to fruition.  Students, staff, alumni and families have been working tirelessly to get the production and the Musical Museum ready for you next week!

Once again, we will be using the month of March to practice happiness habits each day.  Your child will be bringing home the March 2020 calendar that identifies an activity each day that focuses on a habit that can bring internal happiness, as well as spreading joy and kindness to others.  We look forward to honoring all the positive experiences during our April Whole School Meeting. ​​​​​​​    Please click here for the March 2020 Calendar.

Increasing Happiness in a Busy World – March 12

We all strive for happiness, but in our busy everyday lives it can be easy to forget to be happy. Happiness is not something that happens to you but rather a choice you can make to lead a more fulfilling and enriching life. Research shows that choosing happiness has an advantage beyond simply feeling good. Come learn about the benefits of positive psychology from some of our very own District 54 Junior High Student Ambassadors and walk away with simple tactics to increase your happiness. Experience the happiness advantage through fun and interactive activities the whole family can enjoy. Families including students in kindergarten through eighth grade are welcome. This event will take place from 6-7 p.m. on Thursday, March 12 at the District 54 Professional Learning Center, 522 E. Schaumburg Rd. (Door C1) in Schaumburg. Please click here to access the March 12 Happiness flyer.

They came back with more ideas and a renewed sense of collaboration to ensure our entire K-8 community has a purposeful spring! Stay tuned for more information from our Student Ambassadors.

So many wonderful experiences have taken place over the past few weeks leading up to the holidays and winter break. Thank you to families for your generosity to staff. Your support through our District 54 Food Drive, Laurie’s Children’s Hospital Toy Drive and fundraising for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital has allowed our school to support the community beyond our school community. Staff members have worked to create peak moments at each grade level through annual traditions, as well as donating funds to support LP families in need. Lastly, our students have kept us young as their energy drives the fun and excitement of the season!
