PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE:
Dear Spencer Pointe Families,
We want to congratulate our students and staff on a great start to spring! We are raising great citizens. Our 3rd graders, along with Mrs. Gibson, raised $20,002 for the American Heart Association in February. Our 2nd grade raised $5,500 for St Jude’s Hospital to assist with cancer research. Together we raised $763 for Gigi’s playhouse as part of our World Down Syndrome day. We are well over 4,000 food items donated to the New Lenox food pantry. Above all of the money raised and items donated, we hope that we are teaching the students about giving to those less fortunate than we are - AMAZING!
In the March newsletter I introduced the Celebrate Me group. This is a group of students that meet monthly and connect with other students that share similar backgrounds and interests. We have met one time already and currently have 5 awesome students in the group. If you are interested in joining the group please email me at kgray@nlsd122.org. We will meet a few more times this school year.
If you can believe it, we are in the beginning stages of planning for the remainder of the year. We are so thrilled with what we have accomplished this year. We continue to see great kids enter our building with a desire to learn, make new friends and become better citizens. We continue to emphasize the character traits of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. We are planning some fun end of year activities so be sure to pay close attention to your teachers weekly newsletter.
Enjoy your spring break! Summer fun will be here before you know it.
