Congratulations to Brianna Kay and Frank Modicai, our October Golden Apple Award recipients! As Student Council advisors, Frank and Brianna go above and beyond the classroom, working closely with the PTA to help make events like Fall Fest and our school fundraisers a success. We are so grateful for their time, energy, and dedication to the Hadley community. Thank you both for all you do!

Thank you to everyone who has nominated a teacher! Nominations are welcome anytime, and each month’s winners will be selected from the full list of nominees. Keep those nominations coming!

Our teachers work hard all year—and conference week means extra-long days—so the Hadley PTA is treating them to dinner on November 2!

We'll be serving pizza, pasta, meatballs, salad & bread from Glen Ellyn's own Barone's, plus a Dirty Italian Soda Bar with fun flavors and fresh fruit garnishes!

We're asking our Hadley families to help make the evening extra special by bringing a dessert or fruit garnish for the soda bar! 🍪🧁🍰🍓🍊 Homemade or store-bought, every little contribution helps us make conference week a little sweeter for our amazing teachers! ❤️

Please sign up below to drop off a dessert or soda bar garnish on November 2. And if you have an hour, we'd love some extra hands to help the setup crew get dinner (and the drinks) ready!

Thank you to everyone who has already signed up!!!! There's only a few spots left!
