It’s Hispanic Heritage Month, and Willow School’s kindergartners paid homage to Mexican artist and renown muralist Diego Rivera. They created a mural of their favorite places in Homewood. Look closely and you might see sites like the Irwin Park fountain, the Science Center, the water tower and, of course, Dairy Queen!

Churchill School’s Daily Living Skills class is ready for fall! Our Bulldog entrepreneurs made caramel apples, apple butter and other goodies to sell to at their “Sweet to the Core” classroom pop-up store on September 30th. What a fun way to practice reading and math skills!
