We have two new modern language clubs at West this year. The West School German Club and the West School Russian Club will both offer fall and spring sessions. We are delighted to offer our students the opportunity to take part in these before school, once a week clubs. Students will have an opportunity to extend their knowledge of the culture and language by participating in a variety of activities and projects. Please look for the sign-up sheets in your child's mail this fall and again in the spring.

This club is open to third and fourth grade students. With the goal of developing awareness and understanding of the importance of recycling, the club members will participate in a number of projects. These projects tie into the 4th grade study of ecosystems and 3rd grade study of the prairie. The Glencoe PTO has generously funded this club.
