News from District 153

The addition at Churchill School is complete! Our Bulldogs are excited to have more elbow room and to make use of these new learning spaces. The new spaces will be used as meeting rooms and places to do small group work throughout the remainder of this school year. Next school year, the new classroom spaces will house full classes.

James Hart's 8th-graders demonstrated their knowledge of the U.S. Constitution during mock Congressional hearings in January. Public speaking isn't easy for most adults, so District 153 is especially proud of our students’ efforts to present their Constitutional research questions in front of judges and classmates.

Congratulations to all the James Hart and Churchill athletes who competed in the Special Olympics Region E Basketball Tournament on January 22nd! They are amazing representatives of 153!
