4th Annual Recycle for Sight
Huntley School District 158 is excited to once again partner with the Huntley Area Lions Club for the 4th Annual Recycle for Sight Used Eyeglass Collection Drive, taking place at all District 158
schools during the week of October 19-23. How can you help? Take a few minutes to look
through your dresser drawers, closets, and other places where old eyeglasses may be collecting dust.
We’re collecting:
- Prescription eyeglasses
- Prescription sunglasses
- Reading eyeglasses
- Empty plastic and metal eyeglass frames
Don’t wear them anymore? Donate them and give them a second chance to help
someone else see clearly! And don’t forget to ask your friends, neighbors, and family
members to join in!
Donation boxes will be available at all District 158 schools and the Administration Office
from Monday, October 19, through Friday, October 23.
Let’s come together as a community and surpass our record of 282 pairs of eyeglasses
collected!
Every pair makes a difference!

Meet Stella!
Nurse Stella is honored to be chosen for this week's Staff Spotlight! This is her first year at HMS but has been a nurse in the district for 3 years. She is enjoying the switch to middle school and working with HMS staff. Outside of school, Stella lives with her husband, cat Amelie, and dog Zoey. She is involved with Woodstock community theater and Big Brothers Big Sisters.
A fun fact about Stella is that she speaks Spanish! She was in one of the first classes of Dual Language learners in the county. She is thankful that she was encouraged to learn a new language at such a young age.
