Education Partners, good evening,

• The Board of Education on Monday heard a proposal to add a new high school AP psychology course and buy the appropriate textbook for that course. Click here for the official Board of Education Meeting Synopsis: http://www.d303.org/Board/mostrecent.pdf
   
• Also, the Board of Education will meet in special session tomorrow (Wednesday), November 16, 2005 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the administration center, 201 S. Seventh Street to further discuss enrollment growth, facilities needs and the possibility of a referendum. Here is the agenda: http://www.d303.org/Board/specialbdmtg111605.htm
   
• The St. Charles Boys' Basketball Boosters will hold their annual "Meet the Team Day" from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, November 19, 2005 in the St. Charles East High School main gymnasium. Family, friends, and St. Charles East basketball fans are invited and welcome
   
• The St. Charles North High School Service Learning club is holding a Thanksgiving food drive to help feed 50 families in the North High School attendance area. Donations can be dropped off in the school’s main lobby through Thursday, November 17, 2005.
  
  Specifically needed are boxed mashed potatoes, stuffing, Jello, canned cranberry sauce, relish, vegetables (green beans, corn, etc.), gravy, other traditional Thanksgiving food items, and turkey pans for families to use to cook their birds.
  
   

Just FYI, the STC East High Service Club has already held a similar food drive for the same purpose. Both student organizations plan to deliver the holiday goodies this Friday to 50 needy families in each of their respective areas (100 families total.)

Have a good evening,
