Weekly News: Week of 12/18/23
Message from the Principal: Week of December 18th
Dear Kimball Hill Families,
As a reminder, this upcoming week is our last week before we part for winter break! Students will attend school through Friday. We will spread holiday cheer through our school-wide Sing Along
and an optional Spirit (attached below).
As we head into the new year, we would like to remind parents of the District's Wellness Plan that can be viewed on the district website. Healthy snack time is up to each teacher to determine. Parents are asked to bring healthy snacks such as fresh fruits and vegetables and/or low in fat. These snacks should be free of the nine major food allergens: peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, soybeans, sesame, and wheat and easy for the child to eat during class.
In addition, students may only drink water during class time. If you would like to send your child a different drink, they must drink it during breakfast or lunch time. Students will not be allowed to drink Starbucks, hot drinks, or caffeinated drinks during class.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support!
As always, please reach out to me with any questions or concerns at 847-963-5200.
Happy Holidays on behalf of the Kimball Hill Staff!
Warmly,
Michelle LaCamera
