Wednesday Weekly

The first 90 minutes of the book fair/ice cream social evening will be an open house for parents to share in the academic success of their child(ren) during the 2025-26 school year. Parents are invited to classrooms to be guided by their own children through some of the great learning experiences of the school year. Each classroom experience will take about 20 minutes. Parents are welcome to classrooms anytime between 6:00 – 7:30 PM on May 13th. We hope you can join us! Stay for a frozen treat and stop by the book fair until 8:30 PM.

We have recently received several questions regarding our current practices for responding to and preventing head lice within our school. We understand that finding out about a lice case can be stressful for families, and we want to provide clarity on the evidence-based protocols we follow.

Head lice are a common problem, especially among school-aged children and their families. Lice can attach to the hair of anyone’s head. Though lice are a nuisance, they don’t cause serious illness or spread disease. But, they do require specific attention when an infestation occurs.

The 5th grade service project will wrap up for the year with the annual food drive. As we have done for many years, we will be collecting donations for the Cuba Township Food Pantry. This year we're also collecting outgrown spirit wear. Drop boxes will be available inside the school near the front office. For your convenience, 5th grade volunteers will be available to accept curbside donations directly from your vehicle in the morning drop off line. The food drive rally is THIS WEEK. Our 5th graders have made a real impact this year - let's support them in making this a record year for donations to the food pantry! Please see the wish list for more details.

Our first after-school STEM club was a huge success! This session’s theme was “LEGO Masters,” and students had an incredible time exploring creativity, engineering, teamwork, and design through hand-on LEGO STEM challenges.

A special highlight of the club was a visit from Barrington alum and mechanical engineer Luke Horwath, who many may recognize from Season 5 of LEGO Masters, where he competed as part of a mother-son team. Luke shared insights about engineering, creativity, collaboration, and his experience on the show, inspiring students to think like designers and innovators.

We are so grateful to Luke for taking the time to connect with our students and help make our first STEM Club experience such a memorable one!
