Kristin Cummings Receives Administrator of the Year Award

Principal Kristin Cummings was recognized at the local and state level as an Outstanding Administrator this fall from the Illinois Association for Physical Education, Health, Recreation and Dance.

Administrators are nominated by their Physical Education teachers for their continuing support of quality PE programs in their schools.

Kristin has supported the addition of many new programs at Prospect including the Chicago Bears Day, our Glow-Ga yoga event, additional funds and support for field day and whatever crazy ideas our amazing PE teachers (Ms. Duffy and Mrs. Conway) can dream up!

Congratulations Kristin on receiving these two awards. Only four administrators received this honor this year!

Holiday Bazaar is this Thursday, 12/12

12/7/2024 8:39 pm

Bring your kids to shop at the annual Prospect Holiday Bazaar which will be held on Thursday, 12/12 from 4-6pm. Students can shop for their family members at the bazaar, including their pets!

The Holiday Bazaar committee is excited to host another Holiday Bazaar, and we look forward to helping the kids find the perfect gifts for their loved ones. Due to our commitment to providing quality gifts (and inflation), the cost of gifts has been adjusted from a maximum of $5 to $10. There will be gifts priced at varying prices up to $10. This allows us to continue offering a variety of thoughtful and durable items, ensuring each child finds something special. We appreciate your support as we work to make this event a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Cash payments are preferred, though credit cards are also accepted for your convenience.

The Clarendon Hills Infant Welfare will be selling luminaria kits. Each kit is $8 and contains 5 bags and 5 candles. This is a long-standing tradition in Clarendon Hills; even airline pilots have reported they could see Clarendon Hills glowing from above. Take advantage of grabbing your kits at the bazaar.

The chair will work with Prospect staff to help organize materials for the class bees (grades 3-5) and then communicate information about the spelling bee with the winning students' families. With the help of staff, the chair will host the spelling bee at Prospect in mid-January. If you are interested in helping, please email president@prospectschoolpto.org
