Support Needed for Those in Need
The Bensenville / Wood Dale Food Pantry has been providing
food assistance to the residents of Bensenville, Wood Dale
and North Elmhurst since 1972. The pantry is funded entirely
by monetary and food donations as well as grant assistance
and run exclusively by volunteers. Currently, a 20 year old
vehicle which requires constant maintenance is used to pick
up food items from grocery stores, local food distributors and
the Northern Illinois Food Bank in order to serve 350 – 400
households each month.
The pantry is currently asking the community to support its
efforts to purchase two newer but used box trucks. To date,
fundraising efforts have raised over $15,000 with generous
funding from the Bensenville Community Foundation,
Bensenville Rotary, the Bensenville Senior Citizen and
Disabled Advisory Council, Fenton High School Student
Council, the City of Wood Dale, Wood Dale Chamber of
Commerce and Larry Roesch Ford.
Donations can be made payable to Bensenville /
Wood Dale Food Pantry Truck, 192 South Center Street,
Bensenville, Illinois 60106.

difference against hunger, please see page 7.

JOIN US FOR SOME HOLIDAY MAGIC!
The holidays should be a festive time filled with great joy. Unfortunately, many families
struggle to pay bills and put food on the table. Putting gifts under the tree is a luxury that
cannot be met. The Village intends to lessen these struggles for Bensenville families
through two collections starting in November.
The Village’ Toy and & Food Drive seeks donations of new, unwrapped toys, and non-perishable food items. Cash
contributions are needed and welcomed. The goal is that every child receive a new toy, new book and a stocking.
The Bensenville Rotary Club sponsors the Coat Drive collecting new and gently
worn adult and child-sized cold weather coats. New scarfs, hats and mittens
are also needed to guard against the cold weather.
Collection Boxes are located throughout the Village including Village Hall,
Bensenville Theatre, the Bensenville Library, and the Bensenville Park District
as well as many local businesses.
For more information, to get a collection box or to make a donation, phone
Village Hall at 630- 766-8200.
SENIOR CITIZEN CLUB HOLIDAY PARTY

December 6 at 1 PM at Monty’s Banquet Hall, at 703 South York Road. Doors open at noon. Tickets are sold at

Fats, oils and grease…Bad for the sewer system…
Bad for your sewer bill…
Too often grease is washed into the sewer system, usually through our
kitchen sinks. Grease sticks to the inside of sewer pipes both on your
property and under the village streets. Over time the grease builds up and
eventually it can block the entire pipe. Garbage disposals do NOT keep
grease out and commercial additives have little effect.
The results can be:
What YOU can do:
• Raw sewage overflowing in your home,
your neighbor’s home, our village
streets, parks and natural water ways.
• Potential contact with disease causing
organisms.
• Increased operation and maintenance
costs for the sewer division which
leads to higher Village sewer bills.
• NEVER pour grease down your sink drain or your toilet.
• NEVER pour grease into your garbage disposal.
• DO pour grease into an empty can or container, let it
cool, and place container in the garbage for disposal.
• Scrape food off plates, pots and pans into the garbage.
• Talk to your friends and neighbors about the problems
of grease in our sewer systems and how to keep it out.

It was during opening day for staff members, that Fenton’s new principal, James Ongtengco, shared information on
the percentage of Americans nationwide living at or below the poverty line that started what has become a year-long
initiative to stop hunger in our own community. The school decided to focus their efforts on raising funds to bring Northern
Illinois mobile food pantries to Fenton and to support the Bensenville /
Wood Dale Food Pantry’s need for a new box truck.
English Department Chair, Mike Mitchell, reached out to his sister,
Gina Gramarosso who is a senior development officer with the Northern
Illinois Food Bank to get the ball rolling.
Since that day, a video entitled, Give Hunger a Voice, was created by
Fenton teacher, Julia Bray and several students. Fenton’s Swing Choir,
under the direction of Seredy Williams, made donation cans that were
distributed to local businesses during Homecoming Week and Fenton
Student Council members, under the direction of Clint Porter, ear marked
current and future fundraising efforts as well.
Swing Choir members took time out of practice to
create donation cans for local businesses to collect
money for a new truck for the food pantry.
Information from the Northern Illinois Food Pantry was sent to staff
and the Applied Technology, Business, Family & Consumer Sciences
and Art and Music Department staff members pooled their resources to
have a Northern Illinois Food Pantry visit Fenton and distribute food on
September 29. In less than two hours, Fenton volunteers provided 186
families with a box of nutritious food.
“It was a pleasure to lend a helping hand (at the mobile food pantry) and
I can’t wait until the next one,” said Jim Siple, Fenton Math Teacher.
“The kids were very excited and happy that they helped,” commented
Fenton freshman soccer coach, Victor Ruiz. “It made them feel good
about doing something for the community and Fenton.”
In less than a month, four additional Northern Illinois Mobile Food
Pantries have been funded by Fenton staff. In addition, the Fenton
Student Council will host a mobile food pantry on December 15 from
4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. Please check the Fenton website at
www.fenton100.org for details.
On Monday, September 28, the District 100 Board
of Education recognized the Fenton Student Council for
their commitment to ending hunger in our community.
The students, under the direction of Mr. Porter, presented a check to the Bensenville / Wood Dale Food Pantry
to help purchase a box truck. Mr. Porter and student
council officer, Alana Johnsen are pictured with District
100 Board Members: (sitting from left): Laura Wassinger,
Mary Ribando, Susan Ralph, Nancy Gonzales (standing

“Mike, you’ve always said what a great faculty and staff you have at
Fenton,” commented Gina Gramarosso, Senior development officer from
the Northern Illinois Food Bank. “Well, I saw it in action today and you
are right. They are amazing.”

FENTON’S NEW ACADEMIC RESOURCE CENTER (ARC) OPENS
During the first weeks of September, the Fenton Media Center reopened as the newly renovated space called the
Academic Resource Center or ARC for short. The modified space has been configured to accommodate many types of
activities and has a university feeling about it.
“The new ARC, is a space for everyone,” commented Michael Berago, Instructional Tech Coordinator and Media
Services Department Chairperson. “If a group of students would like to collaborate, we have soft seating where they
can work with their Chromebooks with collaborative online tools and conduct face-to-face discussions.”
In addition, the space provides study nooks for quiet study and an area equipped with a projector
where entire classes can conduct research utilizing Fenton’s online database. Assistance from ARC
staff members (see photo) is available before, during and after school until 3:30 p.m.
A theater type stage area allows classes or after school groups to work on performances complete
with a curtain to block out noise. This space was recently used when best-selling author, Cristina
Henriquez visited. Her presentation, sponsored by the Bensenville Community Public Library, was
held in this new space while simultaneously allowing other students complete access to library
materials.
Media Center May 2015
Physically, the ARC is mobile. This means, that if more room is necessary for staff professional
development sessions or student led meetings, the bookshelves can be wheeled into a new
configuration to meet the need of a group.
Newly renovated departmental offices which
include English, Social Studies, Math and Science
are now on either side of the ARC providing
students with better access to staff members.
The ARC will continue to be a work in progress as
more resources are added. The staff is currently
working on building an online collection of books
where students can log in and check out eBooks.
This will be launched by second semester.
The entire Fenton construction project is expected
to be complete by January 2016 when additional
classroom space, cafeteria and new main entrance
open. An open house will be announced in 2016
so the community can see all the exciting changes
taking place at Fenton High School.

DISTRICT’S 2 COMMUNITY SCHOOL MODEL
The Bensenville School District is embracing a
Community School Model
What does that mean? We are looking to open our schools to the community not
only during school hours but during the week in the evening as well as weekends.
The idea is to focus on the needs of our students and their families. The district is
using a needs assessment approach in order to pinpoint the needs of our families
within our community. Then the goal will be to focus on putting together programs to
fit those needs and make them easily accessible through our schools. The integrated
focus is on academics, health, and social services. One main example of a community integrated approach is our partnership with College of DuPage. Through
the Family Literacy Grant, District 2 provides adult ESL classes to the students and
parents of our community along with Pre-K instruction, library time, family engagement and parent education. Through this partnership we have been able to address
a growing need of these services in our community. Using public schools as hubs,
community schools bring together community partners to offer a range of supports
and opportunities to children, youth, families and communities.
To receive more information to sign up for the adult ESL classes please call Christy
Poli in Tioga School at (630) 766-2602 extension 4237. The only requirement is to
have a 3 to 5 year old child that can attend Pre-K in the evening. Para recibir más
información de como registrarse para las clases de clases de inglés para adultos,
por favor contacte a Blanca Cruz en la Escuela Tioga al (630) 766-2602 extensión
4237. El único requisito es que tengan un hijo/a de edad de 3 a 5 años y que pueda
asistir al preescolar en la tarde.
BENSENVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT 2 STAFF APPOINTED TO
KEY STATE ADVISORY BOARD
Dr. James Stelter, Superintendent and Mrs. Angie Adams, Math Specialist and Association Co-President, have been
appointed to the Performance Evaluation Advisory Council (PEAC) by State Superintendent, Dr. Tony Smith. PEAC, is
a 32-member body appointed by the Illinois State Board of Education to create a new way to evaluate teachers and
principals that incorporates student growth measures.
In January 2010, the Governor signed the Performance Evaluation Reform Act (PERA) (Public Act 96-0891) which,
among other things, requires that the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) to develop a template for teacher and
principal performance evaluations, develop a pre-qualification program and ongoing training for evaluators, promulgate rules related to measuring student growth, and to appoint a Performance Evaluation Advisory Council (PEAC) to
assist in these endeavors.
As teacher evaluation requirements are implemented by Illinois school districts, PEAC will continue to serve an
important role in this work. In order for these efforts to continue at a meaningful level, PEAC must hear from those
directly involved. Dr. Stelter has accepted the role as a representative for the Illinois Association of School Administrators. Mrs. Angie Adams was recommended to PEAC as a teacher to participate on this Council.

2015
W.A. Johnson School hosted their Annual
SMART START workshop for parents & students!
With the addition of a One-on-One Chromebook Program, teachers at
W.A. Johnson Elementary School put together an internet safety program for parents and students. The two day event, which started with
an evening program for the 4th and 5th grade parents and concluded
with a day-long workshop at school was a great learning experience for
everyone. The program was organized by the instructional technology
team and the 4th & 5th grade teachers who helped guide the families
through the important things to know when surfing the internet and
how to stay safe. Parents learned specifically about how to monitor the
internet experience for their children while still remaining respectful. If
you wish to learn more about the SMART START program, please contact W.A. Johnson School at (630) 766-2605
and ask for the principals.
Bensenville School District 2 would like to
recognize and thank its board members:
Robert Laudadio, Kathie Bossier, Donna
Prunotto, Jorge Sanchez, Katie Krajecki,
Nancy Quinn, and Matt Vassar for their
time and dedication they have given to
help maximize the
unique potential
of each child by
honoring a natural
curiosity and igniting
a desire to learn.
FRUIT & VEGETABLE LUNCH PROGRAM
Bensenville SD2 is now offering free fruit and vegetable servings to all students at
lunch. Fresh fruits and vegetables provide more nutrients than processed foods and
reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases. We are fortunate to be able to offer this
addition. All students can participate while at lunch, by selecting one serving of fresh
fruits or vegetables from the serving table in the cafeteria. This is being offered three
times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Students are encouraged to make one selection from the two
options offered. There is no charge. Some of the seasonal fruits and vegetables that will be available include:
red grapes, cantaloupe, dried cranberries, honeydew, pineapple, snap peas and grape tomatoes amongst other
options. The program provides free fresh fruits and vegetables to all students. It is a wonderful chance to expose
children to a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and offer nutrition education at the same time.
A Special Performance for Tioga’s Students
Tioga School students and staff were treated to a special performance of Fenton High
School’s fall play, Charlotte’s Web on Thursday, September 24. Kindergarteners, 1st &
2nd graders enjoyed the performance and got the opportunity to ask questions to the
Fenton performers afterwards. Tioga teachers have used this exciting experience as a
way to bring literacy standards to life. We can think of no better way to help students
learn about story elements (character, setting, plot, conflict, and resolution) than seeing our high school friends perform Charlotte’s Web!
BENSENVILLE COAT & TOY DRIVE- DECEMBER 12TH
Many of us have coats hanging in our closets that we never wear anymore. Each year, the Bensenville Rotary
collects gently used coats to distribute to needy families in town. We often have more people needing coats
than we have coats to distribute. If you have a gently used coat at home that you wouldn’t mind donating, please
bring your coat to the main office of your child’s school by November 30th. The coats will be distributed Saturday,
December 12th at Johnson School. Your generosity will certainly help someone in the community. The Coat Drive
is done in conjunction with the Village of Bensenville’s Toy Drive. If you are willing to purchase a toy for a needy
Bensenville child, please drop it off in the box in the main office by Monday, November 30th. Last year Bensenville
Rotary distributed over 600 coats to the community.
A BOX to DROP OFF YOUR GENTLY USED COATS will be
available in each school office, starting OCTOBER 1st
until November 30th.

Keep the
Wreath Red
As the holiday season
begins, you will notice
a large holiday wreath
on the front of the
Bensenville Fire Protection District stations.
Each of the wreaths will
be decorated with large red bulbs
that will be illuminated during the
holiday season. Should a fire occur
during the holiday season that is
determined to have been directly
caused by a holiday decoration, a
white bulb will replace the red bulb.
The idea is for the residents of the
Bensenville Fire Protection District
to be exceptionally safety conscious
during the holiday season.
Safety
Winter holidays are a time for families and friends to get together.
But that also means a greater risk for fire. Following a few simple
tips will ensure a happy and fire-safe holiday season.
HOLIDAY DECORATING
KKK Be careful with holiday decorations. Choose
decorations that are flame resistant or flame retardant.
KKK Keep lit candles away from decorations and other
things that can burn.
KKK Some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use, but
not both.
KKK Replace any string of lights with worn or broken
cords or loose bulb connections. Connect no more
than three strands of mini light sets and a maximum
of 50 bulbs for screw-in bulbs. Read manufacturer’s
instructions for number of LED strands to connect.
KKK Use clips, not nails, to hang lights so the cords do
not get damaged.
KKK Keep decorations away from windows and doors.
HOLIDAY ENTERTAINING
KKK Test your smoke alarms and tell guests about your
home fire escape plan.
KKK Keep children and pets away from lit candles.
KKK Keep matches and lighters up high in a locked cabinet.
KKK Stay in the kitchen when cooking on the stovetop.
KKK Ask smokers to smoke outside. Remind smokers to
keep their smoking materials with them so young
children do not touch them.
KKK Provide large, deep ashtrays for smokers. Wet
cigarette butts with water before discarding.

Before Heading
Out or to Bed
Blow out lit candles when
you leave the room or go to
bed. Turn off all light strings
and decorations before
leaving home or going to bed.
•
FACTS
! Two of every five
home decoration
fires are started by
candles.
•
! Nearly half of
holiday decoration
fires happen
because decorations
are placed too close
to a heat source.
