It was a busy week at Twin Groves! 

 

Thanks again to our Magazine Sales chairpersons, Lauren Gordon and Dianne Newmark, for arranging an all-school assembly with BMX bike rider Matt Wilhelm on Monday. Thanks also to all the students who sold magazines, which is what made the assembly possible.  The whole school enjoyed Matt’s message and were excited to see his stunts – including his jump over the teachers and Principal!

 

We hope everyone who ordered dessert day this month enjoyed their Baskin Robins on Wednesday!  Next week is Special Lunch from Pastabilities.

 

On Wednesday night, Twin Groves hosted the District 96 Flower Show! We bet some of you  are thinking 'aw snap' I missed it. We had a good turn out and raised additional funds for our Kids In Need fund. We hope you enjoy these pictures and come on out next year. It was very entertaining and fun. 

Conferences are taking place on November 19th and 20^th.  While you are at Twin for your child’s conference, please stop in the learning center to visit our book fair and bake sale.  We will also have checkbook’s available for our checkbook fundraiser.

Nickels for Nature at Sunset Foods

We also have a new program to tell you about called Nickels for Nature!  Sunset Foods will donate a nickel for every reusable bag customers bring on their shopping trip. There's no limit to how often customers can participate -- so the more often they shop with their reusable bags,  the more money schools can raise.  Who benefits: Seven schools in the Kildeer Countryside School District 96.  In addition, Nickels for Nature helps the environment and encourages children to recycle. Here's a link to a flyer about this new program.
