THINK ENERGY:
This week our 5th grade will be participating in an activity provided by Nicor Gas and Com Ed called THINK ENERGY! The goal of this program is to help the students and their families learn about energy and how to use it more wisely. Your child will be bringing home a TAKE ACTION KIT that will require parent involvement. It's a very cool kit that you get to keep! Visit this link to learn more about your ACTION KIT: http://thinkenergy.org/install-devices-in-kit/.
Prairieview School-Community Service Project
Animal Assisted Therapy Program-Edward Hospital
Prairieview School, in Downers Grove, (3rd, 4th and 5th Graders) is proud to have an opportunity to sponsor an Edward Hospital therapy dog. Edward Hospital is located in Naperville, Illinois and helps many people every year who have to visit the hospital. In order to sponsor a therapy dog, we need to raise money that will go toward the program that supports the wellness of patients in the hospital. The students are looking forward to sponsoring, Kodi.
Prairieview School will take donations until November 19th!
