The egg drop engineering challenge is a hands-on STEM activity where fifth-grade students design and build a contraption to prevent a raw egg from breaking when dropped from a high height.

Literacy opens doors. When students read confidently and proficiently, they are better prepared to understand new ideas, engage across every subject, and approach their futures with confidence.

We’re proud to celebrate Audubon Blackhawks D11, Bristol Elementary School, and Stratton ElementaryD11 for being named Bright Spots by The 74 !

This recognition reflects the dedication of our students, educators, school leaders, families, and community partners. It also reinforces a commitment shared throughout District 11: ensuring every student develops the strong reading foundation needed to thrive in school and beyond.

Congratulations to the Audubon, Bristol, and Stratton! Your work demonstrates what is possible when we come together around one essential goal: helping every student succeed.

We see your hard work—and this is a bright spot worth celebrating!

The Kind Frog is a hyper-realistic, silicone-based synthetic model designed by TeachKind to replace real animal specimens in classroom dissections. It provides an ethical, cruelty-free, and safe alternative for teaching frog anatomy, featuring color-coded organs and a realistic texture without using toxic preservatives or harming ecosystems. This week, Bristol fourth graders used these innovative new models to learn all about the anatomy of frogs!
