Yo quiero libros! Vamos a leer! I want books! Let’s go read!
An amazing selection of books is headed our way! Teacher wish lists will be available at the sale to help build classroom libraries. Our profits from the book sale help create an amazing school library!
If you can’t make it to our fair, the online book fair runs from April 21- May 11. It’s a great way to stock up on summer reading or find a special gift for a special teacher!

We need volunteers to help work the fair during classroom preview hours and the sale. We’d love to have you, even if you only have 45 minutes to spare at dismissal!

The Book Fair is coming up the week of April 21st, and there are some great things planned! Stephanie Hartman is still in need of about 17 empty, clean gallon milk jugs in order to collect coins from students for the Book Fair Classroom Coin Challenge.
Make room in your recycle bin and drop off jugs in the school office by this Thursday.
Thanks – and stay tuned for volunteer opportunities during Book Fair Week!
State Senator Kimberly A. Lightford has arranged a Town Hall Meeting on the Eisenhower Expressway and the CTA Blue Line projects. Pete Harmet (Illinois Department of Transportation), Eva-Dina Delgado (Chicago Transit Authority), and Rick Kuner (CAT – Citizens for Appropriate Transportation) will discuss the projects and respond to your questions.
You will have an opportunity to ask questions about proposals to add two lanes, build right-hand side ramps, build wider bridges, and improve the existing CTA Forest Park Branch of the Blue Line and extend it to Mannheim Road. Additional concerns are neighborhood, air and noise, social, environmental justice, and cost impacts. Mitigation of negative environmental impacts is part of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
The Town Hall will be held:
Tuesday April 22, 2014 from 7:00 to 8:30 PM
Proviso Math and Science Academy Auditorium
8601 W. Roosevelt Road (northeast corner of Roosevelt Road and 1st Avenue)
Forest Park, IL
More information on Eisenhower issues is available on the CAT web site.
