Wood Dale
Community
Church Food
Pantry
The Wood Dale Community
Church (206 N. Wood Dale
Rd) has been the host to a food
pantry for Wood Dale residents
for over 20 years. The food
which we offer to those who
are living with food insecurity
in Wood Dale comes year
round from local businesses,
schools, residents, and various
community food drives.
When financial resources are
offered instead of food, food is
purchased with those funds.
If you are a person in need of
food assistance, the food pantry
hours are Tuesdays from 9 to
11 am. When you come to the
pantry, please bring your ID
which shows your local address
and be prepared to answer some
questions about those who live in
your household. Enter through
the doors found at the back
parking lot and you will find the
pantry downstairs.
If you would like to offer
assistance, please bring nonperishable food items which are
not expired Tuesday or Thursday
morning during office hours,
also leaving your items inside
the doors located in the back
parking lot. Please do not leave
your items outside as they are
often rendered unusable by the
weather. If you cannot make it
during office hours, please call
the church at 630-766-1805 to
arrange for a delivery time.
The pantry is a way to give back
to the community and assist
those in need.

DuPage River Sweep
The DuPage River Sweep program is coming to Wood Dale, to help keep Salt
Creek clear of debris that may lead to flooding issues. Find out how you can
make a positive change by helping to clean-up and restore our local waterways. For more information visit: http://www.theconservationfoundation.org/
Make Your Own Non/Low Toxic Household Cleaners
By making your own cleaning products, you can: promote a healthy environment, reduce chemicals going to landfills or incinerators, save money, eliminate cluttered cabinets, and easily prepare the right amount of cleaner for any
job. Visit http://nemo.uconn.edu/tools/publications/clean_waters/cwfact2.pdf
to learn how to create your own non/low toxic household cleaners.

Working Together to Reduce Street Flooding
Do you want to know an easy way to help out in your community? The City of
Wood Dale needs help making sure that we keep our inlets in the roadway free
of debris. Leaves and grass cutting are the primary culprits that cover up the
inlets and reduces the amount of storm water that can go down the drain. If
you see leaves or grass covering up an inlet, please rake off the top of the
grate and place the debris in a yard waste recycling bag. Don’t push it down
the openings, this could cause a clog in the pipe and lead to more damage. Together we can work to reduce street flooding within the City.

City of Wood Dale
Community Development
The Community Development Department would like to take the time to
remind the residents of two City ordinances that affect all citizens during
the spring/summer weather:
Refuse
Collection
All single-family
or two-family
residences within
the City are
required to
subscribe to and pay for garbage pickup. On the
assigned day for pickup, the subscriber must place
all refuse to be collected at the curb no earlier than
6:00 P.M. the day before scheduled collection.
Containers must be removed no later than 8:00
P.M. the day of collection. At all other times, the
garbage or refuse of any kind or garbage containers
of any kind shall be stored in the rear of the
premises. Garbage or refuse containers that are
improperly stored are considered to be a nuisance
and are subject to code enforcement action.
The City’s contractor for scavenger service shall
remove all refuse, except as otherwise provided by
its contract. At their cost and expense, subscribers
shall make arrangements with a City-licensed
scavenger to secure the removal any items which are
not covered by the City’s contract, i.e. furniture,
construction debris or electronics.
Brush, tree trunks and wood must be bundled,
and bundles may not exceed two inches (2″) in
diameter and four feet (4') in length.
All residents in buildings that contain more
than two dwelling units must make their own
contractual arrangements with a scavenger
licensed by the City to secure the removal of all
refuse generated on the premises. Apartment
buildings must provide their occupants with a
central location for refuse to be held for pickup and
disposal by a scavenger.
Grass and Weeds
Weeds and grass may not be allowed to grow
in excess of 12 inches. Any plants exceeding 12
inches in height are considered to be a nuisance.
Aquatic weeds may not cover an area of more
than 10 square feet, or to grow to such a size as
to interfere with the proper operation of any
stormwater management facility. Any aquatic
weed growth exceeding such coverage or
interfering with the proper operation
of any storm water management
facility is considered to be
a nuisance.
We ask that all residents be
respectful of each other to
prevent these nuisances,
which will allow our
inspectors to
focus on life
safety issues.

Wood Dale Fire District
Firefighter of the Year
Lieutenant Thomas Bills has been awarded Wood Dale Fire
District Firefighter of the Year 2014. Thomas Bills has been
with Wood Dale Fire District since March 2005. Tom was
voted unanimously by his peers for his exemplary dedication,
loyalty and display of excellence throughout his career as
Firefighter/Paramedic and more recently as Lieutenant for
the Wood Dale Fire Protection District. Tom received his
award at a ceremony held by the Wood Dale VFW Post 2149
on February 25, 2015.
Important
The smell of spring is in the air…That means it is time to barbeque, or at least
see if the lawnmower starts. It’s time to get out of the house and look over those
items that you have been ignoring all winter. Gas-fired grills should be checked
regularly for leaks at the fittings. Spray a soap and water solution on the couplings
and look for bubbles. Tighten all fittings as needed. Take a few minutes to clean
out the leftovers from last season’s grilling. Flare-ups caused by old greasy grates
can be dangerous and a clean grill cooks more efficiently. If you use a charcoal grill,
remember to use only charcoal lighter fluid and briquettes. NEVER use gasoline
and NEVER burn ordinary combustibles. It’s not wise to barbeque in the garage
or close to the house. Always maintain a safe distance from buildings and vehicles.
Make sure your grill is away from the kids’ play area and out of the traffic pattern of
your deck or patio. Never leave a hot grill unattended.
Gasoline for the lawnmower and other machines should always be
stored in approved containers. Never re-fuel gas powered
equipment while it is still hot, running, or by the barbeque.
Gasoline and Propane gas are highly volatile fuels. Use these
fuels with extreme caution. You should limit the amount
of flammable liquids and gases you store. Keep them safely away
from heat, flames, and the curiosity of little children.
Check with your
fire department
or municipality
for any
restrictions before
starting an open
air, recreational,
or outdoor
cooking fire.

March, she and
other NEDSRA
staff members
happily marched
into ECEC carrying
bags of supplies and
provided a day of fun for all 12 classes in our building. At other times Wood
Dale Park District hosts NEDSRA lunchtime programs for our 3 and 4 year
olds to attend. NEDSRA offers a tremendous service to Wood Dale and
the surrounding communities, by providing recreational programming for
people with special needs beginning in preschool going through adulthood.
NEDSRA offers camps for children during the school year, evenings, weekends, and in the summer. Special events such as Daddy - Daughter dances
are another example of the types of activities sponsored by NEDSRA. NEDSRA’s programs are designed for children with special needs but, because
NEDSRA believes in the philosophy of INCLUSION, they are able to bring
their programs to schools like ours. The teachers and therapists from ECEC
love working with and learning from the specialists from NEDSRA. This
partnership offers our children and teachers many benefits.

OAKBROOK SCHOOL
Grades K-2nd
Principal: Ms. Christina Cail
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can
steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own, and
you know what you know. And you are the guy who’ll decide where
to go.” This is one of my favorite quotes from the Dr. Seuss book,
Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” The book is about the places your child will
go and Dr. Seuss provides vivid illustrations and descriptions at both
the literal and figurative levels. If there is one thing we know about
Dr. Seuss, it is that there’s always a lot that meets the eye and always a
great deal of meaning beneath it, too.
Instilling a lifelong love of reading in our students is central to our
mission at Oakbrook School. This March we hosted our Dr. Seuss Fair
which provides an opportunity for our students to come to school in the
evening and engage in literacy activities with their families. Children
created sentences, sounded out words, while participating in a literacy
scavenger hunt. Children read a variety of Dr. Seuss books that featured
rhythmic language, imaginative tales, and unique characters. Then to end
the night, students sat on balloons to receive either a “cause” or “effect”.
Students were encouraged to find another student who either had the
matching “cause” or “effect”. It was a joyous night sponsored by our
Title I teacher Ms. Schayer. We look forward in next year’s Dr. Seuss Fair!
Westview
School
Grades 3rd-5th
Principal: Mr. Al Buttimer
An important trend in education is
an emphasis on STEM classes and
activities. The term STEM refers to
Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Math. At Westview School,
and throughout District 7, we
provide students with engaging
experiences related to the STEM
subjects throughout the day. With
so much information available at
the fingertips of students through
the internet, we are less focused on
what we teach (content) and more
strategic with teaching students how
to be curious and solve problems.
The Next Generation Science
Standards, as well as the New
Illinois Learning Standards
incorporating the Common Core,
involve more real-world situations
so students can learn important
skills to utilize in the workplace
and higher education.
Thanks to a grant received from
Exxon Mobil Corporation through
nomination by Bucky’s Express
at 1000 N. Wood Dale Road, as
well as the generous support of the
Westview PTO, students will soon
have opportunities to utilize a 3D
printer, invention kits from MaKey
MaKey, as well as a device called
“Sphero,” a toy that introduces
users to programmable robotics!
Westview School 4th Grade students
recently explored vision concepts by
examining how light changes as it
moves through filters.

Junior High School
Grades 6th-8th
Principal: Shelly Skarzynski
Eighth grade graduation marks a
milestone in a student’s life. It is at
this time when they are transitioning
from adolescence to young adulthood.
Throughout their junior high school
learning experience, they have come to
develop new skills, different interests
and common beliefs. It is with this
information and knowledge, that they
are encouraged to share their final
story...a story through Graffiti.
A history of how graffiti began and
evolved into the “Urban graffiti” of today is the foundation for the project. A common misconception is that
graffiti is gang related. 80-85% is not. The difference is gang related graffiti is used to “mark territory” but
not much time or effort is put into its creation. Students learn about how and why graffiti started and the
different types of vocabulary that graffiti artists used. Graffiti artists have developed a language and lifestyle
that is truly as interesting as the work they create.
Students use prior knowledge of the elements and principles of design from previous art classes when
planning and creating their “Tags.” They are provided with various resources to assist in the creation of
their graffiti styled name tag. They also choose pictures of interest that best define them as a person, or they
create and use their own original designs.
Students have been creating graduation “Tags” with Mr. Bruce for the past 8 years. It has become a Wood
Dale Jr. High tradition that they anticipate with great excitement creating and displaying their tags as the
back drop for our promotional exercises. We celebrate our students’ artistic talents and storytelling through
graffiti and hang them prominently for all to see.

will be replaced and an additional walkway will be added to
the east parking lot, connecting it to the Center for the Arts.
Additional lighting will be added to the parking lot and new
lighting will be added to the front of the building.
Summer Time is Learning Time
As we enter the summer months, we realize many of our students will be traveling, enrolled in camps,
summer school, or other recreational activities. However, families still have many opportunities to ensure
their children keep learning all summer long! Below is a list of some fun learning activities that are designed
for families that will be on road or on the go all summer long!
• Encourage your children to play, create, and explore all summer long!
• Read for pleasure! Visit the library and keep books that are fun to read around the house and in the car.
Aim for 20 minutes a day. Keep it low key and fun. Remember it is pleasure reading!
• Have your child keep a summer writing journal, (i.e. describe a perfect summer day).
• Have your child experience Science, indoors/outdoors create a new investigation.
• Note how Math can connect to your family’s everyday life in areas such as cooking,
measuring and problem solving.
• Practice math fact fluency by playing board games and interactive fact games online.

Special Olympics Basketball Team Wins State Championship
On Saturday, March 14, the Fenton High School Special
Olympics basketball team clinched the High School Division
5 state title after defeating Leyden 37 – 27. The team
qualified for the state playoffs in January after finishing first
in their division with victories over Riverside Brookfield and
Addison Trail high schools.
The state competition, sponsored by Special Olympics
Illinois, was held at Illinois State and Illinois Wesleyan
universities. Fenton competed over the course of two days
within a bracket that included Bradley Bourbonnais, Palatine
and Leyden high schools.
The team, under the direction of Fenton coaches: Allison
Weegar, Andrea Wysopal and Victor Ruiz, consists of
approximately ten players and over fifteen student peer
coaches.
Fenton student peer coaches offer additional support to the
team. This unique program pairs basketball players with a
peer mentor providing support on and off the court. Fenton
peer mentors belong to Interact, a Rotary International
student leadership program.
“This year has been a truly remarkable year for Special
Olympics,” said Coach Weegar. “I am so proud of my athletes
and the effort they have put forth this season. In addition
to a successful season, we have had a truly extraordinary
following. The assistant coaches, Interact volunteers, staff
members, students, parents and community members
have been there with us every step of the way; continually
assisting, supporting, and cheering for the athletes.”
The team received tremendous support from the community
during their road to the state finals. A basketball game,
organized by the Village of Bensenville and Fenton raised
over $1,500. In addition, the team was surprised with a
coach bus for their ride to the state tournament by Chicago
Classic Coach.
Special Olympics Illinois recognized the Fenton fans with
a sportsmanship award and featured them in an article on
their website. Visit http://www.soill.org/fenton-high-schoolbison-bring-backers-to-basketball/ to read the article.
The team received a final surprised when they returned to
school the Monday following the competition. The Fenton
drumline led the team in a morning march through the halls
to celebrate their accomplishment.
Special Olympics is a global organization that began in
Illinois in 1968 under the direction of Eunice Kennedy
Shriver. Currently there are 4.4 million athletes competing in
170 countries.
