After School Golf

8/22/2026 8:00 am

Elementary Golf School is offering an exciting junior golf program at Prospect School, designed to expose golf to juniors of all ability levels. This program is created and taught by PGA Professionals, to include lesson plans that are fun, safe, and educational. Youngsters will be given the opportunity to experiment with playing a variety of different shots. Our program teaches basic fundamentals, with plenty of variation for practicing and playing. We will not only teach the shots, but also the etiquette, behavior and finer points of the rules of the game. Our instructors will be able to adjust the level of complexity to each child’s individual level of progress.

For more information, or to register for the after-school golf program at Prospect School, please visit www.elementarygolfschool.com or call (630) 853-6348.

Bike Rodeo

8/15/2026 11:10 am

Calling all 3rd-5th graders to the Prospect Bike Rodeo!
 
WHEN: Sunday, August 16th from 1:00 pm-2:30 pm

WHERE: Prospect School Blacktop (Basketball Court)



The Bike Rodeo is a fun rite of passage event for our 3rd–5th graders who would like to receive a “license” to ride their bike to school. Prospect works with a local bike shop, the Clarendon Hills Police Department, and parent volunteers to create stations where the kids receive a safety check for their bike and helmet, ride through a bicycling safety course, and finally get their bike registered with the school and the Clarendon Hills Police Department. We hope to see you there!


Requirements to Participate in the Bike Rodeo:


• An adult to accompany, supervise, and complete registration forms


• A bike helmet that fits properly


• A bike in good condition with filled tires

Frequently Asked Questions:


• If you can’t make this date, visit the CH police to register your bike


• Bike locks are not required at this event


• 4th and 5th graders with new bikes DO NOT need to do the Bike Rodeo again. Just take the new bike to the CH police department to be engraved



Volunteers Needed:


We need a few extra hands and extra air (bike) pumps at the event. To volunteer please simply show up at the event!
