Important Announcements!
- Sending our 8th grade students and families good vibes and best wishes as they finish up their high school applications!
- The Healthy Foods Holiday Challenge to support the West Side Campaign Against Hunger (WSCAH) was a success! Our Center School community raised $7500 which will provide approximately 300 meals! Thank you.
- Deadline for Giving Tuesday Pledge Drive extended – See why below!
Giving Tuesday/Pledge Drive Update
We are so grateful to all the families who donated this week for Giving Tuesday! Including donations from the beginning of the year, we have hit $37,745! This puts us a little ahead of last year. Additionally, we have participation attributed to 60 students which is more than a quarter of the student body. That is also great!
But you really wanted to know who won the pizza parties, right?
Ms. Reiver was alone at the top of the list with 5 students participating and has won a pizza party!
We have one more pizza party to give out and a massive tie for second place, so we will extend the deadline until the end of this week to sort it out.
If you have a student in Eckrich, Finkelstein, Lopez, Marshal, O’Reilly or Walkup, you are ONE donation away from winning too.
If you have a student in Holst, Marx, Nathanson, Thomas, Veve or Wing, you are only TWO donations away from winning.
Let your pride be your guide and find some money to share-a for some tasty Marinara!

Opportunities for our D3 Students
Lincoln Center’s Young Artist Pipeline is an arts training program for middle school students. Pipeline seeks to address the opportunity gap that many students experience due to the prohibitive cost of training in the arts. Please note this program is only available to sixth-grade students, with preference given to students attending a Title 1 school in District 3.
Applications for the spring 2024 session will open on December 13, 2023.
