Glo-Bingo Thank-You
Thank you to everyone who helped make our fourth annual Glo-Bingo a success! Whether you made a donation, helped set-up, bought a ticket, or worked at the event, it couldn’t have happened without your support. We filled the gym to capacity with 37 tables and had a great time! We are pleased to announce that we were able to raise $6,080 for our school!
Hope to see you at Glo-Bingo next year! Susannah Arana, Sarah Mossa, and Kandi Unfried

Empower IL Application 2019-2020:
The application process for the 2019-2020 school year opened on January 15, 2019. Empower IL is a statewide scholarship program that started in 2017 to help families with the cost of tuition for grades K-12. For the 2018-2019 school year, this scholarship program helped 10 of our SSPP families with awards totaling $47,730! We encourage everyone to apply for this wonderful opportunity for our students and their families.
School Uniforms
Help is needed to sort through our stockpile of school uniforms. This is a volunteer function that sometimes takes 2-3 hours. It is usually done 3 or 4 times a year (prior to start in August, prior to parent/teacher meetings, as they accumulate and at the end of school year).
Mary Jines has been our go-to person for this for many years and will be available to assist later this year and throughout next school year. Contact the office if you can help. Thanks!
