Barnes and Noble Bookfair

It is that time of year where we are looking for that perfect gift for that perfect someone.  We have an opportunity for you to find that perfect gift while also supporting the North Boone Schools.  On Thursday, December 10th from 9 am -9 pm, the Barnes and Noble store at Cherryvale Mall is hosting our annual Bookfair.  A percentage of sales goes directly back into each school's library, including purchases made at the Starbucks cafe located in the store(you might even see a drink named after our Viking mascot).  That afternoon, we will also have: Holiday story time, face painting, and purchased books gift wrapping.  

Happy Thanksgiving

School Board Members Day

Nov. 15 is "School Board Members Day" in the state of Illinois. This day of recognition was set by legislative action in 2007. That proclamation stated that "school board members ... sit in trust for their diverse communities, meeting their communities' expectations and aspirations for the public education of their children. School board members selflessly donate countless hours to public service with no compensation ... providing leadership that sets high standards for the education of all students."

School board members are your neighbors, friends, and colleagues, i.e., everyday people who truly are "everyday heroes" for taking on this extraordinary duty — not for a paycheck or notoriety — but for the satisfaction of seeing all children excel through education.

On Nov. 15, and every day thereafter, I ask that you honor and thank these selfless individuals for their public service to your community, your schools and your children.

Thank you for your duty to our schools.

Respectfully,

Heather Walsh 

Principal

Poplar Grove Elementary
