ADOPT A SCHOOL PROJECT 2018-2019
Partnership Program For the fourth year in a row, WLSU will be collaborating with a school to help teachers obtain needed classroom supplies. Within the footprint of WLSU borders are 39 school districts and countless schools that serve students from pre-school thru grade 12. The superintendents of these school districts received a letter from WLSU requesting proposals for partnership opportunities in January, and as has been the practice, we chose to work with the first district that responded. This project has been a wonderful opportunity for our members to continue their investment in local educational programming. It has also allowed WLSU to make connections with districts and active teachers, a vital aspect of building our membership.
This year we will be working with Pennoyer School District 79, located in Norridge, which serves 420 students, in grades pre K thru 8. I have been in communication with their superintendent, Dr. Kristin Kopta, regarding the needs of her teachers and students. They are appreciative and excited to receive this welcome support from an organization they knew little about. Like our partnership last year with Rhodes School District, Pennoyer has only one school.
The following is the list of items that the district has requested. Please feel free to bring any donations to upcoming WLSU functions or drop them off at my home, 427 North Waiola Avenue, La Grange Park.
