Cooper Gosain, a junior at Wheaton Warrenville South High School, alongside fellow Boy Scout Troop 303 scouts from WWS, Edison and Hubble middle schools completed the installation of a communications board for the Hawthorne Elementary School playground.

Cooper was assisted in planning his Eagle Scout Project by Hawthorne Principal Holly Zimmer and Speech Therapist Amy Krischel. Thank you to all involved in helping all students feel welcome and included on the playground! #YourCommunitySchools

Today's TBT brings us back to 1952 at Wheaton Junior High School, originally located on the site of the old Longfellow School in the center of Wheaton. It existed at that location from 1935 until 1954, when it moved to a new building at Franklin and Cross Streets. The name of the school eventually changed to Franklin Junior High School. In 1982, Franklin Junior High School became Franklin Middle School. #YourCommunitySchools
The Wiesbrook Elementary School PTA sponsored a fun and educational assembly at Wiesbrook on September 19. Staley the Bear, the official mascot of the Chicago Bears, challenged students to have a healthy lifestyle. Based on the four downs of football, the kids learned the four points to adopting a healthy and active lifestyle:
1. Eat Healthy
2. Drink plenty of water
3. Get plenty of rest
4. Keep physically active.
He also showed off some pretty impressive dance moves and had a dance party with the kids! #YourCommunitySchools
A few weeks ago, Pleasant Hill Elementary School celebrated Safety & Spirit Week! Students learned about how to be safe on the playground and at lunch; the administration team and Winfield Police spoke to students about body safety and safe speech; and everyone practiced fire, lockdown and severe weather drills.
In addition, the school celebrated all the people that help to keep us safe by having a dress-up spirit week! Students dressed like teachers, doctors, police officers, firefighters and superheroes. They also learned that being safe at school is a team effort! #YourCommunitySchools
