🐾 A "Paw-some" Time at the Tripp Library! 📚
Tripp's recent family book club meeting was a tail-wagging success! 🐕✨ The group read the story of "Madeline Finn and the Therapy Dog," and the D102 Therapy Dog team helped bring the pages to life! 📖🐶
Mrs. Fasuna, founder of the D102 Therapy Dog program, shared the inspiring story of how the program began, and Tripp's principal, Mrs. Schenk, introduced us to her dog, Sushi! 🐾🏫 Together, they walked families through the process of qualifying a dog for therapy work. ✅🐕🦺
Participating families turned recycled T-shirts into handmade dog toys 👕🧶, which were all donated to the Heartland Animal Shelter in Wheeling to help pups in search of their forever homes! 🏠❤️🐾

🎨 Recycled Art in Early Childhood! 🌍
Our EC students turned "trash" into treasure! ✨ Through their recent recycling unit, students used cardboard boxes, paper rolls, and old magazines to create one-of-a-kind masterpieces. 📦🗞️🖌️
By gluing and painting these everyday items, our little artists learned how to reuse instead of throw away, all while teaching the importance of protecting our Earth! ♻️🌱
The kids were so proud to see their creative ideas come to life! 🙌🌟

AJHS headed into Spring Break with a CEO mindset! 🚀
Can you believe spring break was one month ago? Before the break, AJHS students wrapped up the quarter with another awesome Entrepreneur Business Fair! Their work was incredible!
After weeks of learning about the business world, where they learned about launching a business, marketing strategies, etc., our students launched their business to their teachers and classmates. Their projects were a mix of creative mock companies and real-world startups.
Many of their displays used interactive "spin-to-win" wheels and live demonstrations to engage their "clients" (classmates and teachers). We are so proud of the creativity shown by these young professionals.🏆

The Catalyst Club Executive Board recently met with local and state legislators to advocate for community health. After months of studying substance-use prevention, these students proposed stronger ID verification policies, like mandatory scanners, to help prevent underage tobacco and alcohol purchases. 🎙️
It was a proud "full circle" moment for the district as State Representative Daniel Didech (a D102 alum) worked alongside four Stevenson High School Catalyst members, all D102 alumni! 🤝✨

🎶 Sweet 16: Mosaic Variety Show Shines! ✨
The 2026 Mosaic Variety Show hit its "Sweet 16" milestone at AJHS! 🎂 With over 60 student performers and emcees, the show featured two high-energy showcases that perfectly captured the AJHS and D102 community spirit. 🎭🙌
The talent was on full display with incredible vocals, cultural dances, a faculty rock band 🎸, and a hilarious "Lost and Found" fashion show! 👗🕶️
Most importantly, this evening of art and expression served a greater purpose: the benefit raised over $300 for the Cancer Wellness Center! ❤️🩹
Congratulations to the cast and crew on 16 years of magic! 🌟👏

🏗️ 2nd Grade Engineers Save Buffalo Grove! 🌊
Mrs. Marshall’s 2nd graders turned into real-world problem solvers during their recent Project Lead The Way unit! 💡
Students took the lead, researching and debating strategies to protect a model of our community from a simulated mudslide. Using rocks, piping, and trees, they engineered creative solutions to stabilize the landscape and stop erosion in its tracks.
