Principal Appreciation Week is October 16-20!

Please join the PTO in celebrating our wonderful principal! We are grateful for Principal Carmody's dedication to and leadership of our school community. She puts our children and the HW Staff at the forefront of every decision and works hard to create a warm, safe and nurturing school environment. Let's show her our appreciation!

There will be a decorated box in the school's front lobby all week to drop notes, pictures, etc. from you and your children. Or, send her an email (bethcarmody@winnetka36.org) to show your gratitude. Thank you for showing Principal Carmody your appreciation, in any form, this week!

It's Almost Time to Explore with World Travelers!

Get ready to have some fun learning about Hawaii with the Tripton family! The World Travelers program is a special Hubbard Woods tradition which has taken on various forms over time. Our first World Travelers experience will be the week of October 23. World Travelers programming will take place during school hours and sign ups are not required for participation. Stay tuned for more details on our first "trip" to Hawaii!

Picture Retake Day

Picture Retake Day will be Tuesday, October 24 for any children who missed Picture Day or who are unhappy with their original photo.

Hubbard Woods Halloween Celebrations!

The Ghost Walk is an annual HW tradition where students parade dressed in their Halloween costumes, with parents watching from the sidelines. This year’s Ghost Walk will take place on Tuesday, October 31st. The Kindergarten parade is at 9:00AM. Specific timing and location of the parade for Grades 1st-4th will be communicated in the coming days.

The Hubbard Woods Book Fair is Coming Soon!

The Hubbard Woods Book Fair will be held Wednesday, November 15 from 2 – 8PM and Thursday, November 16 from 8 – 10AM. The Book Fair raises money that goes directly to the HW Resource Center, directly impacting all HW students! 

To have a successful Book Fair, we rely on the help of volunteers, and we really need your help! Watch out for a signup genius in the coming weeks and consider volunteering.

And finally, during the book fair we will be collecting books to donate to Andrea’s Angels, a Chicagoland non-profit delivering books to underprivileged children through local schools, food pantries and homeless shelters. Please consider making room for new books by donating gently used children’s books (birth-6th grade reading level). Bins will be in the Resource Center for collection during the Book Fair November 15 and November 16. The class that donates the most books will enjoy a special movie afternoon in the Resource Center with Ms. Delzell!
