Summer Fun with the Chicago Fire

At the end of last school year, a representative from the Chicago Fire was a guest speaker at the Hadley Junior High Hispanic Mentor Club. During the visit, the students were surprised with a special invitation to a Chicago Fire soccer game! Early this month, the students, their families and mentors enjoyed prime seats, pictures, and special mentions during the game. Thanks to the Chicago Fire for supporting our students and celebrating their accomplishments with us! To learn more about the club, contact Gaby Escobar at (630) 534-7633.




FLES Camp

This summer, 103 District 41 students participated in Foreign Language in Elementary School (FLES) Camp! Vamos a Mexico was the Dual Language Program kindergarten/1st grade FLES students and the Vamos a Costa Rica was the Dual Language Program 1st graders/2nd grade FLES students. Students experienced the culture, traditions, foods, important places, and celebrations of each country in an immersion setting.

 


PBL Camp

Earlier this month, 5th, 6th and 7th graders participated in District 41's first Problem-Based Learning Camp. Students explored the issue of children not spending time outdoors. To help solve this problem, the students participated in a field experience at the Blackwell Forest Preserve in Warrenville. At the end of the camp, D41 PBL summer campers presented their solutions for "Nature Deficit Disorder" to naturalists from the DuPage Forest Preserve. The camp was filled with outdoor exploration, research, problem-solving, team-building, and fun!
