Indian Prairie School District 204 students are invited to be part of keeping their school safe by creating a safety poster that could be displayed across the district.

Students at all grade levels will have the opportunity to submit original artwork that focuses on safety themes important in IPSD 204 schools. Winners will be selected at elementary, middle school, and high school levels, receive a $25 gift card, and have their artwork displayed in school hallways across the district. See rules below.

Students should design posters that focus on one or more of the themes for their grade level.

Sport Stacking in PE

• We’re excited to kick off our Sport Stacking unit in PE! Students are learning to stack and unstack 12 specially designed cups in a variety of patterns while developing hand-eye coordination, concentration, quickness, and teamwork. This fun and engaging activity challenges students to use both sides of their bodies and brains!

Why We Love Sport Stacking!

• Sport Stacking is a great way to keep students active, engaged, and away from screens while strengthening important motor skills. It encourages students to challenge themselves, set personal goals, and celebrate their progress. Best of all, it’s an activity the whole family can enjoy!

Bring Sport Stacking Home!

• Families have the opportunity to purchase Speed Stacks equipment through our school, with proceeds supporting our PE program!

Available Equipment:

• Speed Stacks Sets – $25
• Pro Series 2 Sets – $30
• StackMats (mat, timer, and bag) – $30

Order Deadline: Friday, December 4, 2026

Ordering & Pickup Information

• No shipping costs! All items will be available for pickup at school.

• After placing your order, please print your receipt and have your student bring it to Mr. Vine to receive their purchased equipment.

• Colors and designs are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We encourage students to have a second choice in mind in case their preferred option is unavailable.

Thank you for supporting our PE program and encouraging your child to stay active while having fun!

Happy Stacking!

-Mr. Vine

Operation Sweet Treats for Troops is returning to Spring Brook this week. Students are encouraged to bring extra Halloween candy to the collection bins at their arrival doors or outside the office. All collected candy will be donated to Operation Support Our Troops and shipped to members of the Armed Forces serving around the world. Last year, we collected over 500 pounds of candy. Let's beat that total this year! Our collection runs from Wednesday, Nov. 4 to Friday, Nov. 13 (there will be collection bins outside the office on our Parent/Teacher Conference Day).

This holiday season, the Spring Brook Student Council is partnering with Giftmart for a special event that allows invited parents and guardians from under-resourced families to shop for brand-new toys at just $2.00 each. Every dollar raised from these sales is donated directly back to participating schools to help fund classroom resources.

You can help make this special event possible by donating a new, unwrapped toy for children ages 6–12. (Please, no stuffed animals or board games.) Giftmart Toy Collection Boxes will be available from November 9 – December 4 at Spring Brook!

As Veterans Day approaches on November 11th, Spring Brook Elementary would like to honor all those who have sacrificed so much to ensure the safety and security of all Americans. We are forever grateful for everything that our veterans have done for us!

On Wednesday, November 11th, we will be hosting a ceremony to honor the grandfathers, grandmothers, moms, dads, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters and any other family member who has served, or is serving, in our nation’s Armed Forces. We invite you to come in uniform if you would like.

If there is a veteran in your family that you would like to honor, please fill out this form. You may attach a photo and return it to school by Friday, November 6th so we can include it in our video presentation. These will also be displayed in the hallways leading into our ceremony.

All veterans are invited to participate in the following activities:

• 8:30-9:20am: Breakfast in the multi-purpose room (enter through Door 2). Please do not arrive before 8:20am as staff will be setting up.
• Please RSVP and include the number of people that will attend the breakfast by Friday, November 6th using the following link.Veterans Day Breakfast - https://tinyurl.com/SBVeterans

Once again, we thank you for all you have done and look forward to a wonderful morning of honor and celebration. If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Evans at Dawn_Evans@ipsd.org.
