6th Grade Springfield Trip 

Great news about the 6th grade Springfield trip! We just need one more person on our waitlist to have enough people to secure a second bus and turn that waitlist into a list of confirmed travelers. Even better: we will then have space for 35 more kids! If your child is interested in the trip, be sure to register asap. If your child has a friend who wants to go on the trip, be sure to let their parents know to register today!

Reminder for those already registered: our mandatory roommate meeting is Wed., Dec. 4 at 6:30 pm in the Sandburg cafeteria. 

Please note: THIS IS NOT A DISTRICT 205-SPONSORED EVENT AND IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH SANDBURG MIDDLE SCHOOL.

UCCA Annual Food Drive

Elmhurst PTA Council is excited to be partnering with United Community Concerns Association (UCCA) to support UCCA's Annual Food Drive. This year, in addition to the Food Drive, we are holding a Holiday Gift Card Drive for approximately 275 District 205 families who are experiencing difficult times. Families can use the gift cards to purchase presents for their children, helping to ensure they have a happy holiday!

Gift cards in any denomination are welcome. Suggested gift cards include: Walmart, Target, Kohl's, Walgreens, CVS and York Theatre. The gift card collection runs at the same time as the food drive, October 28-November 22. Students can bring food and gift card donations to school where they will be collected. See attached flyer for more details.

Thank you for your support to make the holidays a little brighter for those in need.
