To All Bobcats,
On Friday March 13th we will be celebrating our Second Annual St. Baldrick's Assembly/Shaving Event at 1:30. You will be receiving more information about all of our events as we get closer to the event. Last year we raised over $12,000 as a district, we look forward to another spectacular year, raising funds for Childhood Cancer Research!
Our first fundraiser as a district will be our annual Stocking Hat. This year's grey hat with a blue, yellow and white pom pom, sports BOBCATS embroidered in white and a gold 4 leaf clover in support of children with Cancer. Students and or staff that purchase a hat are allowed to wear this hat in the building throughout the day. These hats will be sold for $15.00, and can be purchased in each building's main office. Please make checks payable to Somonauk CUSD #432. Proceeds will go towards our district's fundraising efforts.

Dog Wheelchairs are expensive, and many shelter animals do not have access to them. 6th Grade STEM wanted to correct this problem by designing and donating their own hand-made dog-wheelchairs - at a low cost! After reaching out to the Tails Humane Society of DeKalb, the 6th Grade STEM class was invited to donate their products and spend some time with the animals! They had an amazing time and their efforts will never be forgotten.
Nothing like a little last minute shopping! Students in Mrs. Tjelle’s math class created their own store selling a product of their choice. Students have been working on percentages and applied them to holiday sales in their stores.
Junior Council assembled almost 700 candy cane grams today! They will be delivered tomorrow spreading holiday cheer throughout SMS! All funds raised went to purchase items from the District #432 Giving Trees to support our very own community during this season of giving!
6th grade students are enjoying the day at the Chicago Wolves game.
