Halloween party 2020...definitely different but still had all the fun!! Did a skittles science experiment with patterns, made witches brew, and did mummy wrapping and freeze dance! Have a safe and fun Halloween! 🎃👻🥳 DPS109 Early Learners #engage109 South Park School Deerfield Dist. 109 @4gradys

Friday fun- a little dance party with @Karmstrong109 class and Dr. Caitie over zoom! Keeping our classes connected from our own rooms has been such a joy. These kiddos are developing friendships across classrooms through Zoom playdates ❤❤ DPS109 Early Learners #engage109 Deerfield Dist. 109

So much fun!!

Thanks to @Karmstrong109 for the incredible outdoor distanced Friendsgiving celebration today! These kiddos had the best time tasting all the food outside in the beautiful weather. Such a fun Friday! 💖 DPS109 Early Learners #engage109 South Park School

So thankful for these silly turkeys❤ Back to remote learning for a bit, but these kids are so resilient. Proud of all the hard work my team has put in to make the shift yet again to a new way to learn and can't wait to see these faces on zoom on Monday 🥰 DPS109 Early Learners Deerfield Dist. 109

Morning and afternoon classes created their paper bag puppets as part of our Folktale unit. We had so much fun- had to snap a pic! 🥰❤ DPS109 Early Learners #engage109 Deerfield Dist. 109

A small act of kindness goes a long way, especially these days. Thanks for stocking the snack cabinet, Janet Gruenwald ! That was such a fun surprise on a gloomy Tuesday. ❤ #engage109

Sometimes, getting a picture of all the kiddos and their work is a bit of a challenge. But regardless, I'm proud of these learners (and those not pictured) and their hard work each and every day. We are so lucky to be your teachers. 🥰 @Karmstrong109 #engage109 DPS109 Early Learners

These kiddos. These families. What a truly special group. I love these kids so much. They are so incredibly resilient. Such a fun Gingerbread Workshop today! 🍪 Happy Holidays and I'll see you in 2021! 🥳❤ DPS109 Early Learners #engage109 #sp109 @4gradys

Oh my gosh, my sweet sweet class got me these personalized magnatiles with our pictures on one side and numbers on the other.. cue the tears! 😭 Find yourself, @4gradys and @Karmstrong109 , you're forever part of the Kray's Class Bus! ❤ DPS109 Early Learners #engage109 South Park School

AM kiddos first ever day of school in DPS 109! Loved meeting, playing and learning with these littles. You could feel the excitement radiating through their masks 😷🥰 DPS109 Early Learners #engage109 South Park School Deerfield Dist. 109

We got to have a special visitor today- an ER doctor and Medical Director taught us about his job and all the things he does. We are so lucky to get the opportunity to learn about helpers in our community!❤ DPS109 Early Learners #engage109 South Park School

Wishing a very happy *belated* birthday to our fearless leader, Marcie Faust, Ed.D.! These kiddos love you and were so excited to celebrate with you both on Friday and today. Hope you enjoyed the dance party, cards, and hats! We love you! #engage109 DPS109 Early Learners 💜🥑

Well, a snowy remote learning day can't stop this team. Proud of my teammates and incredible students for making the shift so quickly, especially my kids who just started school last week! Hope to see everyone tomorrow back at school 🥰🥳 DPS109 Early Learners #engage109 South Park School

We got to play in the snow this afternoon and the kids were THRILLED. 🥳 DPS109 Early Learners #engage109 South Park School

In Highland Park, and its surrounding communities, no one is celebrating Independence Day because a citizen was armed.

Starting tomorrow, Wed., July 6, and Thurs., July 7, District 112 will be providing drop-in counseling at Oak Terrace School and Ravinia School Read more at smore.com/10bf9

And 100% of mass public shootings happen with guns. As Governor, on behalf of the people of Highland Park — leave us the hell alone.
