We would like to SHOUT OUT the following students, groups, activities, athletics, etc. on a job well done!

Foreign Exchange

• We are thrilled to welcome our exchange students from Spain to Fremd! They have already jumped into Viking life by attending classes with their host students, participating in a bowling party, and cheering at a Fremd football game. Throughout their visit, they will continue joining classroom activities, presenting to Spanish classes, exploring the area, and experiencing daily life with their host families. We are so excited to have them here and are grateful to all of the students, families, and staff helping make this exchange such a special experience!

Calling all Vikes on Bikes! Riding your bike to school has so many benefits:

• Physical Health
• Mental Health
• Environmental

• Reducing Traffic

Join us September 14th-18th for Bike to School Week! Every day you ride your bike that week will get you one more raffle ticket toward awesome prizes!! Don't have a bike? You can skateboard, longboard, rollerblade/skate, manual scooter, or roll in on a wheelchair.

If you have any questions, ask Mr. Steiner (isteiner@d211.org) or attend Environmental Club/Outdoor Adventure Club.

☕ Coffee, conversation and connection! Superintendent Dr. Judith Campbell invites District 211 alumni, parents, community members and anyone with a connection to D211 to stop by for Coffee & Conversations with Campbell.

📍 Cafe Blessing, 204 E. Golf Road, Schaumburg

Whether you’re a D211 graduate, a current or former parent, a community partner, or simply someone who cares about our schools, we’d love to have you join the conversation!
