You’re invited to the inaugural Beans, Brew, and Ben! Please join us at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, September 13th, at the South Park Rec Center to chat with Superintendent Dr. Ben Collins on all things D64.

If you plan on attending, please RSVP here by Monday, September 11th. See you there!

Thank you to the Park Ridge Fire Department for spending time with our 8th graders practicing using a fire extinguisher on a real fire.

This is an important part of the safety unit, and our Emerson and Lincoln students enjoyed getting comfortable with this skill.
