Students in MAC 3 are heading up a school-wide peanut butter drive through May 24 for the Interchange Food Pantry. This collection is to help ensure students across our communities have access to shelf-stable protein all summer long. Creamy peanut butter is preferred. Please consider contributing, if you're able!
Ms. Church (music educator) and Profe Hildebrand (Spanish educator) are hosting a combined event for our students and their families this Tuesday, April 30th from 6:30-7:45. Click here to see the flyer.
A Message From Nurse Kelly Barlow-Eichman (this is from the Beagle Bulletin)We continue to see students bringing medication from home and self-carrying/self-administering it during the school day. For the safety of all students, please be sure to follow the school district protocol for dispensing medication at school.
A medication form must be filled out and signed by the parent/guardian for all medication taken during the school day, and the medication must be brought to the school by an adult and turned into the health office with Mrs. Yo. This protocol is also for self-carried medications like inhalers and epinephrine. The only medications students are allowed to self-carry in school are: epi-pens, inhalers, insulin and glucagon. NO OTHER MEDICATION may be self-carried or self-administered by students.
Thank you for ensuring all students at Lake Bluff are healthy, safe and ready to learn!
For planning purposes, if you are a parent/caregiver of a sixth grader, here is the website our PTO has created for their last day of school activities. There are a few asks for you there including sharing a photo of your student as a baby/toddler and a recent photo for the slide show to be shown during the completion ceremony of the last day of school. If you'd like to volunteer, you can sign-up on the webpage as well.

Above is an image of art created by our MAC 3 students. It started as a photograph of the front of Lake Bluff.
Each student received a 2x3 cm tile they then expanded to 8x9 in for their first draft. On their second draft they included all of the details and color. Once it was hung last week, they expressed individual and collective pride.
Look carefully, notice how the railings, windows, trees, and roof line all align.
Each student worked without knowing who had the tiles around them.
The nation's motto: E pluribus unum: Out of many, one is a great fit for this project!
