We extend a huge thank you to the Itasca Lions Club for providing the opportunity for us to attend a circus in Itasca. Directly behind Benson Primary School in Washington Park, the circus was the talk of the town this past weekend. Serving as the Superintendent of Itasca School District, I had the opportunity to represent the schools while riding an elephant named Lisa. Tom Kryger (President of the Itasca Lions Club) who is also riding the elephant, led the task of providing us with a circus in Itasca.
Thank you Tom and the Lions Club!
Shown below is a picture of Tom Kryger and me being introduced to the people who attended the circus.
Students at Benson Primary School invited their special friends to an event held during the school day on September 21st. The visitors included their grandparents, parents and friends.

Title I Program teachers and the Project Prevent Program teacher provided evening presentations to parents of students at Benson Primary School. The programs are extremely effective in assisting students in their reading progress.
The first day of school is always an exciting event for District 10′s students, parents and staff members. With wonderful weather on the first day of school, many students surrounded the school prior to entry visiting with all of their friends after a long summer. Parents were busy taking pictures amongst all the excitement.
