HUGE shout out to Culver's off Algonquin Rd and our Social Committee for teaming up to surprise our staff with ice cream during lunch for National Ice Cream Cone Day! #churchillpride #weare54 #randomactsofkindness

Tomorrow is Dot Day! This day began from the book The Dot by well-known author Peter H. Reynolds. His book, The Dot, celebrates creativity, collaboration and bravery and encourages us to “Make our Mark” no matter how small we start! Although this is a student non-attendance day, all families across the district will receive a link to a District 54 with activities and ideas. The website will have a padlet for each school where students can share a picture, post or video of their creation or act. We can’t wait to see all of our #churchillpride in this activity! #54dotday #weare54 #makeyourmark

A HUGE thank you to Girl Scout Troop 47025 for decorating our sidewalks to brighten our day as we walk into school this week! It was an awesome surprise and we all loved seeing our students’ pictures and handwriting in person! #randomactsofkindness #churchillpride #weare54
