Read for a Cause

This year, students will meet their quarterly reading goals while emphasizing the important qualities of philanthropy and advocacy. Students will Read for a Cause, by seeking pledges for a charity for each page or book that they read. Our school-wide goal is $5,500 by the end of the year. Here are pictures from our second quarter reading celebration. The first grade class raised money for the Chicago Homeless Coalition and presented the large check to the organization during the celebration.


Bobcat Poetry

All students in the school read, write and discuss poetry throughout the year. Check out the amazing poems created by our Bobcat Poets.
