Virtual Book Fair Reminder - This is the last weekend for the bookfair. It ends at Midnight on Sunday.
Use the link:https://www.scholastic.com/bf/skinnernorth to start shopping the book fair today! We're also working to provide our classrooms and libraries with more books. If you can help in this quest (previously called teacher wish lists), consider purchasing a gift card and sending/addressing it to: Skinner North New Books. Send it to the email SNbookfairwishlists@gmail.com. This will directly get many new books into the classrooms and library our students use next year.

Friends of Skinner North - FoSN needs officers. There were only a few offices filled at the recent elections. FoSN has been such a wonderful support to our school and has been integral to community building. If interested, I encourage you to find out more information about open officer roles and other volunteer opportunities at https://www.fosn.net/fosn-volunteer-needs.
COVID Student Testing Update – Thank you to everyone who signed up for student COVID testing. School eligibility for student COVID testing is based on city data on COVID-19 rates in zip codes, which are updated monthly. For the month of June, Skinner North is no longer eligible based on the most recent data from the Chicago Department of Public Health.
