Congratulations to second grader Philly for his artwork being chosen for the Hilton Holiday Card Contest! What an amazing honor! This is the 17th year that we have partnered with Don Hill and the Oakbrook Terrace Hilton. Every year, the hotel chooses one card to use for their holiday card. The card selection committee said this year was especially difficult to chose a winner! All of the artwork submitted was very well done and creative! Congratulations, Philly!



Our staff had so much fun delivering our "Get Your Hands on a Good Book" bags. We hope your child loved it too! Thank you to FTC for providing the funds for the bags. We also want to thank the White family for the adorable Viking sticker. A huge shout out to Mrs. Schellhorn, Mrs. Ross, and Mrs. Gallagher who assembled these bags and created the student keepsake. We hope you and your child(ren) curl up over winter break to enjoy their new book! Don't forget to check out the winter break reading incentive to win a hamburger Happy Meal! Have a safe and wonderful winter break!
