WSFEE News - Baskets for Bulldogs
Thank you, also, to the large number of D101 parents and staff who made Saturday night’s Western Springs Foundation for Educational Excellence soiree such a big success!
Also, WSFEE is promoting a fundraiser, Baskets for Bulldogs, designed to raise funds for an automated basketball hoops system in the McClure Gymnasium. This is a very worthwhile endeavor, and interested participants can enroll your children in this hoops-related event here (and/or donate directly). Thanks for checking out this information today!
While I would prefer not to go into too much detail on this safety and security topic, parents and staff alike should know that Lyons Township High School and the WSPD have been very proactively communicative regarding the recent swatting calls they have jointly been forced to deal with. Suffice it to say that D101 is up to speed on these events, and we have been given great proactive advice and information from our first responders on how best to respond to events such as these. We appreciate both LT and WSPD’s partnership and communication on these and other safety issues.

Devorah Heitner
Thank you to the thirty D101 parents who participated in Tuesday night’s informational session with author Devorah Heitner. Great conversation and ideas were shared on how best to help our adolescents and pre-adolescents navigate through the sometimes challenging waters of technology, social media, and 24/7 access to information and each other!
