We are delighted that spring is on its way, bringing longer days, renewed growth and special events at Hubbard Woods!
We have a wonderful opportunity to encourage our teachers and staff with
Teachers & Staff Appreciation Week, a chance to celebrate
100 Years of Progressive Education, a time to enjoy our children together at the

Spring Break.
We look forward to seeing you at these and other events!

Celebrating 100 Years of Progressive Education
Tuesday, March 10, 2020
6:00-8:00 p.m. at Carleton Washburne School
515 Hibbard Road, Winnetka
Carleton Washburne arrived in The Winnetka Public Schools 100 years ago, introducing Progressive Education to The Winnetka Public Schools. Together we will celebrate how Washburne's legacy has impacted thousands of students in Winnetka, inspired lifelong learning, and fostered a deep connection in our community that is still prevalent 100 year later. See where we started, what's changed, and what has always been at the core of learning in Winnetka.
All are welcome at this free community event, which will feature interactive learning opportunities with students and educators; choral, band, and orchestra performances; artifacts from the Winnetka Historical Society; refreshments; and more.
We are pleased to present the nominated slate for next year's 2020-2021 Hubbard Woods School PTO Executive Board:
President - Sara Dahlstrom Vice President - Nissa Cox Treasurer - Sandy Carlson Assistant Treasurer - Brenda Miller Communications - Annie Cudney Assistant Communications - Amy Kay Secretary -Nicole Roberts
Congratulations to the nominees! The election of the officers will take place on Wednesday, April 1st at 9:00AM at the home of Anna Anderson.

A huge thank you to the parents who formed the nominating committee and helped the PTO to determine a list of nominees to fill the open positions. We appreciate your valuable time and input!

GREEN TEAM LUNCH ROOM VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED!
Be a part of educating our future generations on thinking before you toss. Wear gloves, stand at the three bins and answer kids' questions on which bin to toss in -- it's that easy!
Children and their parents/caregivers are invited to Christ Church to make creative thank you cards and treat baskets for our local police and firefighters, to thank them for keeping our communities safe!
