Recap:

Mini-Grant Program: At the start of the school year, PALS relaunched the SD74 Mini-Grant Program. It offers funding for creative projects, classroom resources, and initiatives to help teachers bring innovative ideas to life and support student learning in new and meaningful ways.

Following a competitive application process, PALS awarded eight teachers with mini-grants. These grants funded several resources, including an Aeroponic Growing Tower, a Gaga Ball Pit, and classroom materials such as educational math games, art supplies, dramatic play items, flannel boards, and sensory tools.

Cahill Scholarship donation: Thanks to a generous donation from PALS, the District was able to increase both the number and amount of scholarships this year, awarding five $1,000 Cahill Community Service Scholarships to high school seniors who are alumni of Lincoln Hall.

Congratulations to the recipients:

Kira Oleniczak, attending Lipscomb University
Lorelai Mandal, attending DePaul University
Jonathan Nguyen, attending the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Saniya Khan, attending Loyola University
Benjamin Klinghofer, attending Milwaukee School of Engineering

Appreciation Week: Lights, camera, action! PALS gave SD74 teachers and staff the star treatment during a Hollywood-themed Appreciation Week, held May 5-9.

From glitzy hallway decor to A-list meals, snacks, swag bags, and raffle prizes, PALS rolled out the red carpet. The memorable week was a sincere expression of gratitude from students and families, thoughtfully organized by PALS.
