Hello Lake Bluff Families,
"February is Black History Month — and it’s never too early to begin celebrating and teaching your child about Black leaders of yesterday (and today!). As you begin exploring the Black scientists, politicians, activists, artists, and more who have left their mark on U.S. history, encourage your child’s curiosity about the contributions and accomplishments of Black people." Please click here for PBS Kids Page to celebrate black leaders.
As you know, the snow has arrived. We go out for recess daily, so please make sure your student is dressed for going out in the snow. Snow pants, boots, hat and water proof gloves is what we recommend in addition to your winter coat.
On a different topic, our office is in need of healthy shelf stable snacks (preferably individually wrapped) for our students that forget. If anyone would like to donate snacks, we would greatly appreciate it. Please just drop off in the main office.
Finally, I wanted to remind you there is no school on Monday, February 17. It is a day our teachers will be participating in professional development. We are all life long learners!
Have a safe and nice weekend!
Kind Regards,
Johanna French, Interim Principal

Friends of the Shorewood Public Library: Yard Sign Campaign
The Friends of the Shorewood Public Library are planning to fill the village with yard signs in support of the library, beginning on April 6 when National Library Week kicks off.
This year’s yard sign campaign will be bigger than ever. And signs with a new slogan will replace the “I Love the Shorewood Library” signs that have been used in the past.
Does a member of your household have an idea for a great new slogan you’d like to share? A contest to choose a new yard sign slogan is being hosted by the Friends. Entries can be submitted using this Library Yard Sign Campaign link. The contest closes on Feb. 28 and a winner will be announced in March. Students are encouraged to enter.
