Hope you’re having a great weekend!
At our PTA meeting this upcoming Thursday, from 7-9 p.m. at the Chute Pate Library, we are pleased to offer a presentation by Evanston Police Officers Amanda Wright and Tanya Jenkins. Officer Wright is the school resource officer at Chute and is a member of the juvenile bureau at the Evanston Police Department. Officer Jenkins is the Problem Solving Team (community liaison) officer for the Southeast side of Evanston. Together, they will make a brief presentation on their work in the Chute district, and then be available to answer any questions parents may have about the Evanston Police Department.
The Student Council’s Annual Food Drive runs through Monday, Nov. 24. All collected Items will benefit the neighborhoods serviced by the Howard Community Center. Items must be non-perishable, not packaged in glass, and not expired. The Social Studies class that brings in the most items will win a pizza lunch party. You may drop off items in the Main office.
