Madison March Madness Who would take home the Gold, Silver or Bronze Certificate was the question of the day at Madison School. On March 27th over thirty-three families traveled to Madison School to compete in the

around the school: Paddle Up, Jump Rump, Volley Up, Toss & Catch, Hula Hoop, Trading Places, Spot Shot, Champion Ball, Around the World, Bozo Baskets, Long Jump and Falling Sticks. South Holland Bank and Trust on was hand making and distributing popcorn to the families. It was a fun time for all!

Eisenhower School

3rd Quarter Honor Roll

Eisenhower students took a field trip to their gym. There they found the Dome Theater waiting for them. The Dome Theater is a mobile theater. It features highly innovative, immersive, and educational programs. The second grade students enjoyed “The Dinosaur Prophecy”. They joined paleontologists as they excavated bones to speculate about what killed the mighty dinosaur. The third grade students enjoyed “Earth’s Wild Ride”. They experienced a heart pounding exhilaration of a water canyon ride near an erupting volcano.

The students were able to enjoy these adventures from the comfort of their school!

Dear Parents:

The program at each location will be approximately twenty minutes and will include a presenta-

tion of colors, the playing of “The Star Spangled Banner”, a speech given by a student about the

meaning and importance of Memorial Day, an introduction of guests, and the playing of Taps.

A bus, contributed by the Illinois Central Bus Company, will take the participants and guests to

each location, leaving the American Legion at 8:45 a.m. and returning in time for the luncheon.

The staff and children would deeply appreciate having you attend the program this year. If you
