Orange for Hunger Awareness: DuJardin will celebrate “GO ORANGE” day TOMORROW. Students should wear orange to raise awareness about hunger. During the month of September, we are asking students to donate canned goods or non-perishable food items. There is a box in the front lobby for students to place food items. Our goal is to fill the entire box with canned goods or non perishable food items. WE REACHED OUR GOAL with a week left to go in September. Thanks for everyone for helping raise food donations for the Bloomingdale Food Pantry.
Jog a Thon: Just a friendly reminder that the Jog a Thon is NEXT Friday! Please reminder your child(ren) to get their pledge forms and posters in as soon as possible! We are looking forward to having tons of posters to line the field during the Jog a Thon.
Going Gold: On Friday, September 30, Bloomingdale School District will be “Going Gold” in honor of Michael Carr and to support Cal’s Angels. Michael was a student at Erickson and Westfield who lost his very courageous battle with cancer a couple of years ago. We invite all students and staff to wear GOLD in support of Michael’s battle, Pediatric Cancer, and Cal’s Angels. Join us anytime between 4:30-6:00 pm on September 30th for a community walk around the pond behind Erickson Elementary. We are collecting a $10.00 donation per walker to support the work of Cal’s Angels.
PTO Directory: The PTO Directory is available and located on the PTO page of the DuJardin website under the Family tab. In order to access the directory, you must use your child(ren)'s SD13 account. We will also have classroom teachers place the directory in the teacher's google classroom.
