It's time for our spring Box Tops/Labels for Education Class Challenge! The challenge will run from February 8th thru February 12th. Please send in all non-expired, trimmed box tops and labels, with your child, to school sometime next week. There will be black shoeboxes in each room for collection. The top class in K-2 and 3-5 will get to choose a prize. Any questions - please contact Gina Groberski
Does your student have a passion for technology? Do they like to share with others how they use technology for school and for fun? District 25 and Arlington Heights Council of PTAs will host an Education Fair with the theme of “Teachnology 2016”. Students and staff will have the opportunity to teach peers, parents, and the Arlington Heights community about how they use technology. This could mean teaching others a skill or simply sharing an experience using technology. The Technology Fair will be on March 9th from 7-9 at Thomas Middle School. PLEASE COMPLETE THIS REGISTRATION FORM by MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8th.

At Olive-Mary Stitt we have many programs and clubs, and we couldn't do any of it without our amazing volunteers! We would like to use this new section of the Twig to send out personal thank you's to some of the people who made our most recent activities a success.
Jeanne Cosgrove and Marni Hanson have once again organized a fun night of skating at Orbit Roller rink. Those who participated brought personal items for donation to the Wheeling Food Pantry. They were very happy to receive those much needed items. Marni and Jeanne have been organizing this event, as well as Bingo night for the past 8 and 5 years respectively. These events are definitely at the top of the list of things that families look forward to every year. Thank you Jeanne and Marni for your years of service!
