Read Across America

Highland School is celebrating Read Across America next week! This national event is to get everyone excited and talking about reading! There will be lots of in-school events, including spirit days.

Please contact your child's homeroom teacher if you would like to be a guest reader in your child's classroom next week!

We are thrilled to share that the Skokie Public Library reached out to local schools for student artwork, and the 3rd or 4th grader’s listed below creations was selected for display! In art class, students chose to create a drawing inspired by the animals of Illinois, showcasing their creativity and hard work.

Throughout the month of March, their artwork will be proudly exhibited at the Skokie Public Library for the community to enjoy.

If you have a chance, we encourage you to visit the library in March to see our students' amazing artwork on display! 🎉🎨🐾

Congratulations to the following students:

🎨 3rd Grade: Michael, Kira and Merris

🎨 4th Grade: Melanie, Caleb, Matilda, Payton and Damien

Additionally, several of our talented students have been selected to represent Highland at the Skokie Outstanding Arts Recognition Show at Oakton Community College! Their incredible artwork will be on display from March 1 - March 31 and can be viewed anytime the building is open.

A special opening reception will take place on Wednesday, March 5, from 4:00 - 6:00 PM, with Mayor Van Dusen expected to attend.

Congratulations to our featured students:

🎨 5th Grade: Lucas, Ryan, Alex Y., Arhum, Mahnaz, Marcos, Yogev, Kamila, and Victoria

🎨 1st Grade: Talia, Rory, Cora, and Luke
