Beardsley News

Hannah Beardsley is proud to support the Crystal Lake Food Pantry and looks forward to participating in the Community Harvest Food Drive again this year, a combined effort of the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce and the Crystal Lake Community. Click here to see this year’s flyer for suggested donations. Monetary donations are also appreciated: checks can be made payable to the Crystal Lake Food Pantry. Donations will be accepted October 23 --- November 15.

Homeroom competition: Donut breakfast for most items donated.

If any student brings a cash/check donation, each dollar donated would count as ONE item for the food pantry for their homeroom collection.

On October 23, 2023, Google Workspace for Education will be blocking access to apps that are not approved by District 47 for users under the age of 18. If students have used their District 47 gmail account for apps not approved by the District, their access to those apps will be blocked.

We are excited to share that The Break is partnering with District 47 to provide a safe place for our students to have fun, connect and find acceptance in their after school program. Transportation will be available after school. We are limited to 20 spots daily (until The Break is able to expand this service). As a result, all 3 middle schools will have a daily sign up sheet (much like the activity bus sign up but this will be shared amongst all 3 middle schools). This will be a first come, first serve basis.

Families will need to enroll their child at The Break.

Step 1: The Break Registration Form

Step 2: RSVP on the home page The BREAK Home Page RSVP For Day/Event Would Like To Join

Membership at the BREAK is $10/month and that can be paid online when you register and there is an option for recurring membership fees.

Nobody is ever turned away if they are unable to pay!! It is a simple process and they simply need to send a request to brenda@clbreak.com.

For additional information please refer to https://www.clbreak.com/ We are so grateful for the support of the Crystal Lake community and excited for this opportunity for our students!!
