Click HERE to set up a free Flipgrid profile and upload your video clip.

To submit a separate stage performance for the program, sign up here. Thank you for being a part of the fun, community-building celebration!
Looking for chaperones on 2/7 - 7th and 8th Grade needs chaperone support! The 7th and 8th graders have a service day Tuesday, February 7th at Feed my Starving Children in Schaumburg. We are looking for 8 approved chaperones to help us meet the required 4:1 student to chaperone ratio. Sign up here (ignore room numbers) if you're an approved chaperone that can join us from 10:15am to 1:45pm Tuesday, February 7th. We promise a great time for a good cause!
For anyone interested in supporting this project financially, donations to fund the meals our students will be packing can be made here.
SN Community Interfaith Workshop - Thursday, March 2nd from 7-8:30pm - Facilitated by Avi Smolen, Dominique Isaac Grate, and Hannah Willage from Interfaith America.
We often highlight the beautiful diversity in our community at Skinner North. Research has shown that, even when diversity exists in spaces, it can be intimidating to discuss our differences. However, when we have conversations about our differences, that is what actually helps us to be more bonded. Leaders from Interfaith America have found a great way to help us learn about our fellow community members through dialogue and personal narrative. We will meet virtually to explore how to be curious about culture and supportive of one another.
Diverse Needs Committee Update - Catch up on the discussion from our December 9 meeting with notes posted at the Diverse Needs Website. Is there an initiative you’d like to see happen? Please join us! For more information about the committee, to express interest, or to say hello, contact us via the website here.
Save the date for Third and Fourth Quarter planning meetings. Meetings will be held in the parent room (Rm 105) and via Zoom or Google Meet for a virtual option.
