Thank you to Dr. Bose and all of our veterans across the district for your presence at our school ceremonies, and for your service to our country.

As we begin preparing for the holiday season, we are thrilled to announce an exciting new format for our Holiday Giving program for our elementary students –GiftMart! GiftMart is a unique approach designed to bring smiles and a sense of pride to children in need during the holiday season. Gift Donation Period: November 3 through November 28, 2023
Traditionally, our Holiday Giving program relied on sponsors buying gifts for specific students. While this approach was heartwarming and generous, we are introducing a fresh and empowering way to make the holidays special for a child in our district.
Cash donations are still needed to purchase the gift cards for our junior high, high school and Connections students. A financial gift of support may be made by visiting the Naperville Education Foundation website at www.nef203.org/donate. Select “Holiday Giving” as the gift designation. You can also donate via check mailed to: Naperville School District 203, 203 W. Hillside, Naperville, IL 60540, Attn: Holiday Giving Program, payable to Naperville Education Foundation.
Hearing that your child needs to be in the hospital, whether for a short visit or a longer stay, can be overwhelming. Child life specialists help to reduce stress and anxiety and make the healthcare experience a positive one for the whole family. The child life department is a small yet mighty crew that is tasked with creating the best outcomes for children in their care. They often provide a toy for either distraction or positive intervention for our patients. Click below to learn more about the program.
Save the Date: Tuesday, Nov. 28
Please remember the Naperville Education Foundation (NEF) as you consider your year end-giving. Your gifts to NEF will continue to support Naperville 203 students!
