School Board Members Day 
Our school board members wear many hats; they are education leaders, policymakers, contract negotiators, and budgeters. But they are also our neighbors, our friends, and Avoca's biggest fans. Thank you, Avoca School District 37 Board of Education! 

Scholastic Pajama Drive 
We are collecting new sets of pajamas to donate to the Family Focus Program in Evanston. For every pair we collect, Scholastic will donate a new book to a child in need. If you would like to help, please send new pajamas for children ages 3-14 to Avoca West or Marie Murphy by Friday, November 17. Questions? Email Val Pacini at [email protected]
