The Beagle Dash is today and as of this morning we have raised over $34,000. Thank you so much for your support - these funds will be used to create enrichment opportunities for our school community.

More information can be found here!

Our fundraising portal will remain open for another week - www.mybooster.com

The PTO is proud to provide the bountiful snack buffet for staff during Fall Parent Teacher Conferences tomorrow October 15th and 16th. This is possible due to your generosity at our fundraisers. 

Volunteers are needed to help set up the snack tables in the morning and take them down in the afternoon. Help show our appreciation to our amazing Lake Bluff Staff - volunteer here!

We need yearbook pictures!

Please send your best FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND WALK TO SCHOOL DAY  pictures to our yearbook email at lakebluffyearbook@gmail.com — the best yearbook pictures are groups of Lake Bluff students having fun together. Thank you!

Join us on Monday, October 26th to help weed the front garden beds and do some trash pick up.

Equipment will be provided, but bring your own gardening gloves if you have them!

The whole family is welcome, but please note: this is not a drop off event.

In case of inclement weather we will hold the event on Thursday, October 29th.

This year's all-school costume parade will be held on Friday, October 30th at 2:15pm. All parents and guardians are invited to come watch and join in the fun. Please note there is a change to the parade route this year, students will be exiting out the front doors of school, walking around the west side of the building and entering back into the building via the back doors (facing the large playground). 

We hope to see you there!

Save the date for this fall's Scholastic Book Fair, running from November 3rd to 5th. More information and instructions for setting up your e-wallet can be found here.

Volunteers information will be shared next week!

To start the year off, please take a moment to go to the PTO Website. Within five minutes and a few clicks, you can update your child's information in the PTO/School Directory, pay your annual contribution to the teacher/staff gift fund, review the volunteer opportunities, and more. Please be sure to select this year's teacher for each student to receive class-specific communications.

The Lake Bluff Directory is the only place to find the names and contact information of Lake Bluff students. It serves as the school directory. Also, by updating/inputting your information, the PTO can send occasional emails regarding upcoming events.
