Holiday Season of Sharing
Nettle Creek #24C - Dr. Donald McKinney Nettle Creek Elementary
School District participated in the annual Scholastic Reading Club Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive benefitting Pajama Program, a nonprofit organization that provides new pajamas and books to children in need — especially those living in group homes, shelters, foster care, and orphanages. The school donated 36 pair of pajamas.
Queen Bee #16 - Victoria Tabbert Students at Pheasant Ridge Primary School in Queen Bee School District 16 took part in a food and coin drive. Despite 63% of students being eligible for free/reduced lunch, students raised $502.65! The money and food are collected in support of the Village of Glendale Heights annual holiday food and coin drive.
Deer Creek-Mackinaw Unit #701 - Scott Dearman Students and staff at Deer Creek-Mackinaw Primary Junior High School collected approximately $6,000 in donations and supplies for the victims of the November 17 tornado. That Friday was a black and orange day and the students assembled in the gym to show their support and thus the “W” shape formed by the staff.
