Woodlawn would like to formally congratulate the Prairie parents for their victory at the District 96 Foundation sponsored 6^th Trivia Night last Friday.  It was a close race, but Woodlawn just missed taking home the victory.  We will give it another shot next year. 

Speaking of the Foundation... The Foundation has established several committees for which they are seeking volunteers.  These committees are:

Scholarship (first meeting December 8, 2011)

Capital Campaign

Golf Outing (August 6, 2012)

Recognition Dinner (January 20, 2012)

If anyone is interested in serving on any of these committees , (parents, faculty and staff) please contact myself ggrana@kcsd96.org or Wright Chase, Foundation President at  wwc11@aol.com or 847-537-9477.
