Join us on Monday, November 16, as the Northbrook Spartans take on the Holy Cross Warriors for the annual Crosstown Classic! Whether you're cheering for the Spartans or the Warriors, we're all on the same team when it comes to supporting our community.
All proceeds from the event will be donated to the food pantry. We are collecting cash donations only at the door so the pantry can purchase the exact items local families need most!

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.

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.
