One of the most fun days of the year was bolstered with excitement as students and staff arrived to several inflatables on the playground. Fun was had by all as they worked through the obstacle course, kicked soccer balls into the “goal”, and made baskets and touchdowns, along with many team games and relay races. Thank you to Mr. Mershon and the PTA for planning an amazingly fun day and to all of the volunteers who helped make this “Sports Spectacular” Day possible! It will definitely be a day that will be remembered by all!

Thank you to the Campanelli PTA for providing staff and students the opportunity to see one of our favorite assembly’s of the year; Wheel of Wisdom.  A little like the game show Wheel of Fortune, there are three contestants (or in this case three teams of 2 contestants), a wheel, and prizes. The difference between the two shows, is in Wheel of Wisdom, students and staff show all they know about school and everyday subjects.  The teamwork, good sportsmanship, and amazingly smart students (and staff) helped to make the assembly engaging for everyone! Thank you to our PTA for providing this fun opportunity during the last days of the school year!

The third, fourth, and fifth grade Chinese Immersion students had the honor of creating artwork to be displayed in the Governor’s offices in the Thompson Center in Chicago. Lieutenant Governor Evelyn  Sanguinetti visited Campanelli earlier in the school year and was impressed with the level of Chinese spoken and written during her visit. While visiting, she asked students to create artwork to be hung in the Governor’s downtown Chicago office. With the help of their teachers and Ms. Cummings, the students learned about the art, history and Chinese culture while creating the beautiful art pieces. Lieutenant Governor Sanguinetti sent a video thanking the students and hopes to thank them in person in the future.

The District 54 Education Foundation will be hosting our 20th annual golf outing on June 12 and make a difference in the life of a child!

This outing at the Schaumburg Golf Club is the Foundation’s largest fundraising event. All proceeds support the Food 4 Thought breakfast program, STEM after-school clubs and grants for students from financially struggling households. This year we were able to award nearly $35,000 in grants for 330 students to participate in summer programs and classes!

Please consider supporting District 54 children by becoming an event sponsor, volunteering at our outing or golfing. We are also looking for items for our silent auction, as well as gift cards from local businesses to award as prizes.

Campanelli students and their families were involved in a variety of fundraisers throughout the year to give back to our community and help those in need! This year Campanelli families raised $6,655 in various fundraisers throughout the year. The funds were contributed to the American Heart Association through our Jump Rope for Heart activities, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through our Pennies for Patients fundraiser, and the Kenneth Young Center and the Campanelli PTA through our Math Challenge.  In addition to money raised, students brought in 1,118 items to help Veteran’s set up homes and 1,796 books to donate to the School District 54 Community Closet and Bernie’s Book Bank . Several of our fundraising activities far exceeded our initial goals!  We applaud and appreciate the support that our students and their families give to those in need, to Campanelli, or to support ongoing research efforts for health conditions that impact so many!

This Spring, 5/6 has been hard at work researching a topic of their choice to write an argumentative essay about.  The students then presented their essay as a speech to their classmates.  Students were asked to create a visual to enhance the understanding of their topic.  Their topics ranged from “Should pit bulls be allowed as pets?” to “Should athletes have to participate in gym classes?” Students enjoyed exploring their chosen topic and did a great job writing and presenting their speeches!

Take a night off from cooking dinner and join the PTA at Portillo’s on Wednesday, May 17th from 5:00-8:00 p.m. While you are there you can also help raise funds for the PTA to continue providing wonderful activities for Campi students by simply presenting the flyer in the link.
