The Hubbard Woods Winter Showcase is this Thursday, December 16! Our traditional Winter Sing is reimagined as an immersive experience to accommodate and welcome smaller audience sizes into our school. The theme is WELCOME, and will be in the form of an open house/gallery walk-through of the Hubbard Woods hallways, concluding with a short family singalong in the auditorium. HW families are invited to specific showcase times in order to evenly disperse families throughout the day.

Please see this link for additional details, including when to attend based on your last name and what to expect. Please also read the Winter Showcase survival guide for info on where to meet your children and how to navigate the showcase. Siblings, caregivers and other family members are welcome to join, and we will put the showcase work online for those who are unable to attend.

During this season of giving, Hubbard Woods School is participating in a district-wide food drive to benefit the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Students and parents can drop off items in boxes located in the lobby.

All food donations are accepted; however the most needed items are: peanut butter, canned beans,

canned chilis, soups and stews, canned fruits and vegetables, canned fish, dry cereal, pasta, stuffing mix, granola bars, fruit snacks, hot chocolate, tea and coffee.

Items can be dropped off until December 15. Thank you for your generosity!
