On August 19th, the Mayor along with the Board of Trustees presented Kildeer resident, Alex Hurrell with a Special Commendation for his outstanding achievement in earning his Eagle Scout rank. This is the highest rank one can attain as a Scout. There are 4.5 million Boy Scouts and only 3% achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. As part of Alex's community project he collected over 900 toys and stuffed animals and donated them to Advocate Children's Hospital to comfort patients.

SCHOOL STARTING SOON

Students will be returning to the classroom soon. Please drive carefully and watch for children in school zones, near bus stops and on student pedestrian routes before and after school.
