A special thank you to all of our families who contributed pictures for our Veterans Day assembly. Your support helped make the event even more special, and we truly appreciate your involvement. A special and sincere thank you goes to the veterans who joined us in person to celebrate this meaningful day. It was a powerful and moving display of gratitude for all who have served, and we are deeply honored to have had the opportunity to recognize and celebrate your sacrifices. Your presence made the event unforgettable, and we are proud to show our appreciation for your service!

The Glen Ellyn Junior Woman’s Club is excited to kick off their annual Christmas Baskets Sponsor-A-Family Program.

Last year, they were able to support 150 families and seniors in need -- helping 650 people in the Glen Ellyn community. This year, all donated toys will go directly to the more than 200 children from CCSD 89 and District 41 in the sponsored families program.

To participate, please donate a new, unwrapped toy for a child between birth and 11 years old. They especially need books, crafts, gift cards, and other suitable items for tweens (ages 9 to 11).

Drop-off details: Place donations in the collection box at your school by Tuesday, December 10

Online shopping convenience: To make holiday giving easier, we’ve extended our Amazon Wish List. Feel free to shop online or consider supporting local stores.

Donations welcome: Don’t have time to shop? Monetary donations are welcome, and they’ll do the shopping for you! Donate here: https://bit.ly/ToyDonate.

For more information on the toy drive, please visit https://bit.ly/GE-Toys or learn about the Christmas Baskets Sponsor-A-Family program at https://www.glenellynjuniors.org/baskets
