🤝 Service in Action: Pritchett Gives Back!
What an evening of Service! On February 6, the Pritchett community gathered for their annual Pritchett Gives Back event, and the energy was nothing short of inspiring. ❤️
Students rolled up their sleeves for a variety of hands-on projects, proving that you’re never too young to make a big difference. Students made a direct impact by collecting essentials and creating gifts of support. Together, the group made a #D102Impact on these local organizations:
🐾 Orphans of the Storm
💙 Fill-a-Heart 4 Kids
🌈 C.I.T.Y. of Support
🛒 Vernon Township Food Pantry
Thank you to students, families, and staff for making this a successful night. D102 appreciates your time and service! 🐾✨

🔬 Future Scientists in the Making! 🌟
Science came to life at Pritchett! Kindergartners had the incredible opportunity to explore the wonders of physics during a special visit from a very special guest: Dr. Carolyn Tomchik. 👩🔬✨
🧪💨As a Principal Nuclear Engineer at Argonne National Laboratory (and a proud Pritchett kindergarten mom!), Dr. Tomchik led our young researchers through hands-on experiments to investigate complex concepts like friction, inertia, and Bernoulli’s principle.
Our students participated by making predictions and tested their ideas through interactive demonstrations. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Dr. Tomchik!
