Dear Eisenhower Families,
On Wednesday, May 22nd, our first grade students will be going with their class to take a tour of Betsy Ross School. After the tour is completed, our first grade students will be joining the 8th grade sendoff parade. We are looking forward to this exciting opportunity for our first graders. Our first grade Eisenhower students will take a short bus ride over to Ross for the event. If you would prefer that your child not ride the bus and remain at Eisenhower, please contact me at llambatos@d23.org or at (847)870-5040.
On Friday, May 17th, Eisenhower will be hosting our annual Young Athlete's Day Field Day Event. Your son/daughter’s class has been participating in the Young Athletes program during P.E. class. To showcase your child’s abilities and hard work, we will be having a fun-filled Young Athletes Day! The morning session will take place from 9:00-10:30 A.M. The afternoon session will take place from 12:30-2:00 P.M. Half-day Early Childhood and Kindergarten classes will participate during the session they attend regularly. For those of you who have a child in an all-day Early Childhood, Kindergarten, or 1st-grade class, the schedule is as follows:
AM Session
Mrs. Clausen
Mrs. Balla
Ms. Garceau
Mrs. Valderrama
Ms. Mareczko
Mrs. Lewis
PM Session
Mrs. Derrico
Ms. Dorcey/Ms. Noveron
Mrs. Miller
Ms. Gianneschi/Ms. Noveron
Mrs. Mullaney
Throughout this school year, we have been practicing different skills that children will be able to show off on this day. Skills that we have worked on include: balancing, running, jumping, throwing, catching, kicking, and striking. The children have also been working in groups and practicing being a leader in their physical education class. The Young Athletes Day will be a great finish to all the hard work the children have put in throughout the school year. It will be a wonderful day for your children to be able to showcase all of their abilities and newfound motor skills for you! We will also have student volunteers from MacArthur Middle School running the stations and helping your children throughout the day. Your child will receive a snack, as well as a certificate and ribbon for their participation. Your child will also receive a t-shirt for their participation in the program provided by District 23.
Hopefully, the Young Athletes Program has helped improve your child physically, developmentally, and socially, and we are looking forward to giving them the chance to show off their skills. We are very excited about your family’s participation in the Young Athletes Day! We are looking for volunteers to help run some of the stations and lead groups between stations. If you are interested in volunteering please fill out THIS form. If you should have any questions about our Young Athletes Day, the Young Athletes program, or Special Olympics, please contact Dana Goldstein at 847-870-5049/dgoldstein@d23.org or Chrystyna Sroka at 847-870-5580/csroka@d23.org. We look forward to seeing you on May 17th!
Sincerely,
Dana Goldstein/Kelley Kraus, P.E. Teacher/Adapted P.E. Coach, Luke Lambatos, Principal, Chrystyna Sroka, Assistant Superintendent for Special Education
With Volunteer Appreciation Week coming to its culmination, the staff at Eisenhower want to take time to thank all of our PTO and parent room helper volunteers who tirelessly, throughout the year, work and promote family events,
classroom parties, and, most importantly, help in the form of copying materials, art in the classroom presentations, station activity facilitators, reader parents, and the list goes on. Whether it is making sure just the right type of game or craft will engage the children during a Halloween, Winter Break, or Valentine’s Day party, our volunteers are simply comforted in the fact that they have added to a child’s school experience. Eisenhower would not be the same school if it were not for our parent volunteers and active PTO. Their organizational skills and well-planned out events allow all of our students and parents to feel part of a greater IKE experience and community. Giving of themselves is simply
something the volunteers do all the time and is what makes them so special in the lives of their own families and the larger D23 family they have helped to shape.
Have a Wonderful Weekend,
Your Eisenhower Family
