Did you know that #GlobalHandwashingDay is on October 15? Handwashing with soap and water is one of the BEST ways to get rid of germs and protect yourself and those around you from getting sick. Remember the five steps: Wet, Lather, Scrub (for at least 20 seconds), Rinse and Dry! Keeping hands clean is one of the most important ways staff and students can stay healthy during the school day! Stay tuned for more tips, as we'll be putting up posters in strategic locations to remind our students to wash their hands! Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3Yb4R45 #21Learns

Congratulations to Francesca ("Frankie"), Priscila and Aurora, three seventh graders at Jack London Middle School, who were recently selected to have their artwork featured in a virtual gallery at the National Nordic Museum in Seattle! The Ar(c)t(ic) Design gallery features visual art focused on High Arctic conservation, and was the final step of a contest that asked children between the ages of 5 and 17 to create an original piece of art to encourage other children to learn about the environmental issues facing the Arctic ecosystem. The three started working on their projects as sixth graders during the 2023-2024 school year. A total of 98 pieces were received for the contest, and the top-scoring 40% were selected for inclusion (or about 39 pieces). You can read more about their achievement here - https://bit.ly/3Nkx43L Congrats again, Frankie, Priscila and Aurora! #21Learns

Oh, you make me smile. World Smile Day at Twain Elementary School last Friday was a huge success! Our Eagles were greeted with a warm welcome from members of the Village of Wheeling, Illinois Police Department, but the fun didn't stop there—the entire school grounds were decked out in everything smile-related, from cheerful decorations to smiley faces at every turn. It truly set the stage for a day full of kindness, positivity and joy.
