NICE WEATHER ????? !!!!!

HEY SPARTAN FANS !!

Just a couple of quick points for this writing:

Has anyone ever seen such rapid changes in the weather....warm...cold....rainy....sunny.....it has been so "rollercoaster" like during the past ten days. To this, our outside unit on FOOTBALL has been put on hold, with the hope that the week of October 19 brings at least no rain. We can bundle up and deal with the cold, but rain forces us inside. Our students have been very understanding regarding the change in schedule, a fact that makes our classes run smoothly!!

Most students have turned in their PRESIDENTIAL FITNESS SCORESHEETS after having had them reviewed by their parents!!!!!

GOOD LUCK to Miss Nyhlen and the Girls' Varsity Volleyball team as they enter the conference post-season tournament next Saturday (October 24) . All eleven conference schools will be participating at Lakeview. The Lady Spartans finished the regular season with a mark of 6-4, losing three of those matches by very close scores!! On the Junior Varsity level, the Spartans posted an outstanding 9-1 record, finishing tied for 1st place in the conference!!!!!!

AND................the District 66 P.T.O. fund-raisers.....where would we be without them!!!!!!! As I look back over at least the last 15 years, the 66 P.T.O. has donated (PROBABLY) close to $200,000.00 for items that would not normally be purchased through regular funding!! Speaking personally, I am very proud as I look at all the computers at Lakeview having been secured through 66 fund-raisers. ......... Even though the fashion shows are but a memory, how can anyone forget the fun-filled nights with Mr. Slayden emceeing the activities??? !!! I mention the fund-raisers due to the district sposoring a couple of them coming up shortly...........On Wednesday; October 21st (ALL DAY), BUONA RESTAURANT (7409 Cass Ave.; Darien, Il.) will donate 15-25% of all purchases (WITH CENTER CASS 66 COUPONS) back to the district. Buona coupons are available in the offices at all three district schools.......EAT HEARTY!!!!!!!

As another fund-raiser, District 66 is sponsoring a dessert purchase through MARKET DAY!!! If the district sells 250 pies, cheesecakes, or individual desserts, the district will raise just under $700.00. In addition, any individual purchasing three or more desserts will receive a FREE 12 oz. bag of coffee. ALL DISTRICT 66 STUDENTS RECEIVED A SPECIAL FLYER AND ORDER SHEET FOR THE SPECIAL BUY!!! Additional packets can be picked up at all three district schools!!!!!! Orders must be turned in by OCTOBER 29th, with delivery being Saturday; NOVEMBER 7th. Individuals with questions should contact Christina Wiseman @ christina.wiseman@comcast.net or (630)-985-8424 "SPEND HARD"...........SUPPORT THE KIDS!!!!!!!

Have a great week, and..............

GO SPARTANS..................."PLAY HARD"!!!!!!
