As we enter this season of gratitude, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to you!

Your partnership ensures that every student has the opportunity to thrive, explore, and realize their potential.

On Saturday, November 22, nearly 500 students had the opportunity to compete in a Naperville District 203 FIRST LEGO League Tournament.
FIRST Lego League robotics allows students to have more learning experiences with science, technology, engineering, and math outside of the school day.
With gift to NEF, students were able to participate at no cost to their families. Thank you to Molex for their support of FIRST Lego League in Naperville 203. |

Because of your recent gifts to Kid Booster Anonymous, NEF was able to purchase 85 bags of groceries for Naperville 203 families who are facing unexpected challenges that can make it difficult for their children to focus on learning.
Thank you to our community for making this supplemental support possible, to Heinen’s Grocery Store for their partnership, and to our caring School Based Mental Health Professionals and Ann Reid Early Childhood Center Parent Educators for their partnership during this time of need. |

Showing appreciation for our schools |
