The PTC is sponsoring a Grocery Gift Card Collection drive in the month of October. All donations will go to the Secret Santa program sponsored by the Rotary Club, Pillars Community Health and the Park District of LaGrange. See Flier below for more details and drop off information. This is a great way to give back to our community members who need a little extra help during the holiday season.

We are still looking for a few more volunteers for:
- Building & Grounds Planning
- Tiger Fun Run
- Yearbook
We are a parent community, committed to supporting the school with resources, time and effort. It would not be possible to do all that we do without your support. Please consider signing up to volunteer for one of these programs taking place in the 1st half of the school year. If you have any questions about any of the volunteer opportunities, please contact Vanessa Prinz at vanessaprinz@gmail.com.

The Building and Grounds and Garden Club committees would like to say thanks to the Cepek, Clark, Flanagan, Helander, Lach, Larson, Reid, Sorice, Vasquez-Weber, and other families for helping keep our new plants by the main entrance alive this summer! We appreciate the watering and weeding and it is still looking great!
