Celebrating Years of Service With CCSD93 | | Continuing in the same spirit of appreciation, this week we recognize staff members reaching important years of service milestones with the District. I’m deeply thankful for all that the D93 team members listed below have contributed, and will continue to contribute, to our students. Congratulations! | | Thank You, CareFest Volunteers, for Beautifying Our Schools! | | Last Saturday, 1,175 volunteers from Wheaton Bible Church generously gave their time, resources and skills to beautify all CCSD93 schools and many other community sites during their annual CareFest event. I’m truly grateful to those who mulched, weeded, gardened, planted and more at our schools. It was a pleasure connecting with them as they served. Their hard work is helping our campuses look great as we head into summer! | | Register for 2025-26 School Year Today | | |

| | Help Support a New Community Bus at Putt & Pour Fundraiser on 6/4 | |
The Carol Stream Parks Foundation is hosting a Putt & Pour fundraising event on Wednesday, June 4 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Coyote Crossing Mini Golf to help replace the Park District’s aging passenger bus, originally purchased in 2012.
The bus plays a key role in providing safe, affordable transportation for seniors, youth and families across the community. Whether it’s transporting seniors on weekly trips, shuttling over 250 campers between parks and pools each summer or supporting community events and emergencies, the bus is essential to making programs accessible and affordable. With rising repair costs and reliability concerns, it’s time for a new one.
