No School on February 17, 2020.
This school year, Somonauk School District instituted the use of emergency days within the school year in case of severe weather. Since we have NOT used a severe weather day as of yet, February 17th will remain a Non-attendance day for students and staff. If a snow day is taken between now and Spring we will utilize April 13 as an emergency attendance day.

Club OAV (Our American Voice) Somonauk Chapter collected enough Necessities to fill twenty-eight bags for females and twenty-five bags for males. The Necessities will be distributed to a local food pantry in the area. Club OAV is planning on another Necessities Drive next month; with the help of all three schools in the district.
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.

Your child changes rapidly throughout the years and an annual check-up of his/her educational progress is strongly recommended. This service is one way of finding preschoolers who may need extra help before the start of kindergarten.
The next scheduled screening date is February 7th, 2020. Screenings are scheduled between the hours of 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. and are held at James R Wood Elementary.

Mr. Roberts always makes sure to the kids get some fresh air and movement during lunch time!
Here are some great Vegetarian options from our food service for lunch!
For 21 years and counting, under the choreography of Bill Morris, JRW students spend the last two weeks prior to winter break on skates! Kindergarten through 4th grade skate during PE class, learning how to literally stand, stop, and SKATE! They get to utilize some carpet in the gym to build their confidence, some may use a "skate mate" (build by Mr. Jr) and gradually move to roller magic! Next week, they get to skate to music! Sometimes it may look a tad like roller derby, but the excitement and encouragement of the students with one another, will warm your heart and make you smile!
Ful house for the JRW concert!
Another great community event is right around the corner in 2020! Come on out for a FULL day of BASKETBALL as the Bobcats take on the Plano Reapers all day!
