Principal’s Post...<br />
A film crew from WTTW will be here Friday, April 7th filming Mrs. Eggert “on the job” for the upcoming<br />
Golden Apple Award Ceremony, which will be hosted by Golden Apple on Saturday, May 20th at the<br />
WTTW Channel 11 Studios in Chicago. We are all excited about this recognition and look forward to<br />
Friday’s visit. More information and a link to the “Live Streaming” of the reception and awards<br />
ceremony will be forthcoming.<br />
Several Bloomingdale Police Officers including, Officer Odoi and Officer McCoy (pictured below) stopped by for lunch and<br />
to visit with the students on Tuesday. Our goal is to have our local heroes and first responders visit as often as possible and<br />
become comfortable walking the building and talking with our students. It is also our goal to have the students feel<br />
comfortable talking with the officers on a regular basis. Thanks to the Bloomingdale Police Department for supporting this<br />
school outreach project!<br />
The students performed so well at the recent talent show, “2017 DJ World Series!” . Thanks to Mrs. Lents and Miss. Dahm<br />
for sponsoring this great program and thanks to all the students who showed off their great talents. Check out the short<br />
video and the attached picture collages.<br />
Please see the attached flyer entitled “Protecting Your Investment and Your Children.” This is a community forum focused<br />
on building and grounds for Bloomingdale School District 13.<br />
Please note that we do not have a School Improvement Day 1:40 Dismissal this month.<br />
