Monday, Oct., 26 begins Red Ribbon Week!
ADM representatives Stacey Sadler and Tom Schaefer stopped by Northbrook this week as part of the ADM Cares program, which benefits non-profit organizations globally. The ADM Cares program provides Kynd Kits and monetary donations to nonprofits to increase food security and invest in our school community.
A HUGE thank you to ADM, Stacey, and Tom for their charitable contributions! Their generosity will allow us to stock Northbrook's food and clothing closet.

Next week we are celebrating Red Ribbon Week at all M289 schools! Red Ribbon Week (October 23–31) is all about empowering our kids to make healthy, safe choices for their minds and bodies! It gives students a fun, positive way to learn the importance of staying drug-free and taking care of themselves and their friends. Please join us in celebrating Red Ribbon Week!
This week, we are giving a huge shout out to our incredible 1st-grade teachers!
1st grade is a year of major milestones—from learning how to read and tackling new math concepts to building confidence and new friendships. Our 1st-grade team brings endless patience, creative energy, and excitement to the classroom every single day!
Thank you for laying such a strong foundation for our young learners!

For the last few weeks Mr. Scheppers, Ms. Henkel's, and Ms. Kibilka's enrichment RtI's have been helping Mendota ADM with their Kynd Kits. Kynd Kit's are an all-inclusive volunteer project packaged in a box by the non-profit organization Project Helping. Each box contains all the supplies, materials, and step-by-step instructions needed to assemble a care package or complete a project for someone in need. Students spent time in their classes writing positive messages and decorating items that will be sent to less fortunate individuals and help them on their path. We are appreciative of ADM's partnership and willingness to supply these kits to people in need.
