The coloring sheet allows you to spotlight one of our All Star Staff Members. They will be displayed on bulletin boards.
Please choose ANY Anderson Staff member (a current or former teacher, specials teacher, support staff, favorite lunch monitor!) and complete the page with your best handwriting. Also - decorate, decorate, decorate - use lots of color, paint, glitter, stickers, photos - everything goes! As an added bonus, one fantastic submission will be chosen per grade for a special prize!

PTO FUNDRAISERS:
From the District - New Start /End times announced for 2024/25 School Year:
District 303 is pleased to present its lineup of Parent Education sessions for the 2023-2024 school year.
The Parent Education series (formerly Parent University) includes informational meetings and workshops intended to empower parents and guardians to support their children’s academic, social and emotional needs. Become informed on specialized topics, engage in two-way dialogue with speakers and fellow parents, and become a support resource for others.
Sessions for this school year will focus on bullying prevention, addressing anxiety, and include film screenings and discussions about the impact of screen time and cultural awareness. The schedule also includes college preparation workshops hosted by our high schools. Sessions were selected based in part on feedback from District 303 parents.
Explore the full lineup of sessions here. Signup forms for each session will be made available closer to the session dates. New this year, you can also register for Parent Education notifications and receive alerts as new information and session recaps become available.
