Grit, Determination,
& The
Power of Yet!
|
Dear Eisenhower Families,
As we work with the children, we must always remind ourselves to impart a Growth Mindset upon them. Nurturing a spirit of perseverance is essential in developing a Growth Mindset. Teaching a child that through dedication and hard work they can accomplish their goals is an incredibly healthy outlook and mindset towards becoming a lifelong learner. A Growth Mindset teaches children to learn from mistakes, improve from feedback, and seek inspiration from others who have accomplished their goals through difficulties, failures, and life’s unforeseen setbacks.
Having the resiliency to take on new challenges and problems are what set apart those with a Growth Mindset. We call this “Grit”. More importantly, a Growth Mindset sets us up to have a healthy and positive outlook towards life. And, above all, if your child says they can’t do it, always add the word “YET” to the end of that sentence.
Have a Wonderful Weekend and keep reading every night with your child,
Dr. Lambatos
Principal

Ca$h for the Cure
We could not be more overwhelmed by the response and participation in our Ca$h for the Cure Fundraiser. We want to thank everyone for their support in our efforts to raise money for cancer research through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We are pleased to announce that we have met and exceeded our goal of raising over $3,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Not only did we meet our goal, but we far exceeded it by raising over $10,000. We raised $10,598.62 to be exact. Who knew what a difference such a small district could make?
While the amount of money we raised for this outstanding cause was an amazing accomplishment in itself, it is far from the most important achievement of our fundraiser. The ability to empower our students in making a difference in the lives of others, reaching for a goal, and spreading kindness with the world around us are some of the greatest achievements of our fundraiser. Thank you to everyone for your enthusiastic support of our D23 Ca$h for the Cure Fundraiser. Thanks to your participation through spreading the word, generous donations, and cards of warmth for patients, we TRULY MADE A DIFFERENCE in the lives of others. # Proud2BD23
As you probably know, there were also some rewards to be handed out at the conclusion of our fundraiser. We had advertised that the top fundraising class at each school would receive a pasta party from Olive Garden for their entire classroom. And the Eisenhower winner is:
- Mrs. Hauschild's Class ($205.24)

Neighboring District Shares Community Alert
Wheeling District 21 shared that a small group of children were approached by a man and woman in a black sedan as their students were walking home from their bus stop in Wheeling. The driver asked the students to get in the car, but the students refused and are safe.
The parents also reported this to the Wheeling Police Department. The Wheeling Police Department is increasing its patrols. While this did not occur within our District 23 boundaries, it did occur in our community.
These students are safe today because they ignored the man in the car and told trusted adults about the situation. Please continue to talk with your children about safety tips for before and after school and make sure they know to never talk to or approach a stranger. Also, please remind them to always walk with other students as much as possible.
If you see anything suspicious in our community, or have any other details about this incident, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the police department.

Tis the season...Flu season
With the recent reporting and heightened awareness of the Coronavirus, we want to take this opportunity to share some info and a few good reminders:
First, the
Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH)
shared guidelines with Illinois schools regarding the disease.
There are NO reported cases of Coronavirus connected to District 23 or our surrounding Districts and the recommendation from IDPH is to continue regular best practices for preventing cold and flu season.
The information shared by IDPH outlined guidance that all District 23 schools are following, including:
- Encouraging staff and students to wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Asking staff and students to avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Asking staff and students to avoid close contact with people who are sick
- Instructing staff and students to stay home when you are sick or until you have been fever free for at least 24 hours.
- Asking staff and students to cover their cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
We will continue to follow all recommendations from federal, state and local entities concerning the Coronavirus, flu and other issues and hope that you and your family remain healthy this flu season.

Eisenhower
Century
Book Club
|
|
T
he Principal's Century Book Club is a listing of children who read multiples of one hundred books during their years at Eisenhower School.
*Books can be read by parents or enjoy a shared reading with your child. Take turns, use voices, and, most importantly, have fun!
Remember to ask plenty of comprehension questions and discuss new vocabulary words!
Your child’s name will be added to the front foyer wall when they read their first one hundred books. Their name continues to be added with each 100 books they read.
Students will also receive a special prize from the office.
B
ooks should be at the child’s reading level, and left to parent’s discretion.
Below, is a link to a form that you can download and print.
You may also list the books on a sheet of paper.
Setting aside 20-minutes a night for family reading with or to your child makes a world of difference.
