Shout Out to Our Fundraising Stars!
Each student who raised $100 or more had their name featured on our Fundraising Stars bulletin board and was also entered into a raffle for an official Chicago Wolves jersey. We had a total of 54 students qualify for the drawing, and the winner of the jersey is… JB L. in 5T!
1,657 Acts of Kindness Completed!
Our students and staff worked so hard to make kindness a part of their daily routine! We enjoyed watching our Kindness Tree grow in the LMC!
Kindness Day Bolingbrook donated two copies of their Super Sammy book which was read at Family Kindness Night by Mayor Mary Alexander-Basta and Sammy Yelenosky. We drew names from the 102 students who logged at least one or more acts of kindness in Raise Craze during the fundraiser and the winners of the Super Sammy books are…. Aneira R. in 3V and Eliana P. in 2K!
256 Students Registered!
We had record high participation in the Kindness Challenge this year, with 78% of all Builta students registered! Every student who registered for the Kindness Challenge will be bringing home a certificate for a free popsicle or scoop of ice cream from Ilda’s Ice Cream & Pastries inside Taco Dale Bolingbrook.
Time to Celebrate!
We’re excited to kick off Thanksgiving break with an amazing inflatable party today! Thank you to all of our amazing volunteers, and especially to each of our Builta students who participated in the Kindness Challenge and helped make today possible!
