Invitation to see the Updated New Trier Facilities in Winnetka
For all Sears families and Community members:
The Winnetka Campus at New Trier High School is hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the first phase of the Winnetka Campus Facilities Project. The improvements include the new library, cafeteria and classrooms.
The event will be held on Wednesday, September 14 from 6:00- 8:00 p.m.
Student Picture Day is coming up. Kindergarten students through 7th grade students will have their picture taken in school on Thursday, September 22. If they are absent or need their picture retaken, the Retake Day will be on October 20th.
All students are encouraged to wear light or brightly colored clothing as the background will be grey.
8th Grade Pictures will be taken on Friday, September 23rd. Retakes will be taken by studio appointments only.
Each year volunteers provide services to enrich school programs and raise money for school needs.
Volunteering is a great way to be involved with the Sears Community. The Committee Chairs are looking forward to a wonderful year and are very grateful for your support.
Attached is a list of many of the JSSPVA Committees that have requested assistance for the upcoming
school year. Please check as many as you are interested in, as not all committees need help every year. There
