(More) No Cell Phone Use While Driving in a School Zone As a reminder: "On August 6, 2009, Governor Quinn signed into law House Bill 71 and House Bill 72. The new laws ban motorists from sending text messages while driving in Illinois, and make it illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving through a highway construction zone or school zone. In addition, it is illegal to compose, send or read text messages, instant messages and e-mail on a cell phone or surf the internet while driving. The ban also includes personal digital assistants and portable or mobile computers, but does not include global positioning systems (GPS) or navigation systems."
(More) Haiti Relief In response to the tragic events in Haiti, community members, staff and students have expressed a desire to work together to offer support. Our sympathy goes out to several District 35 employees whose extended families are in Haiti. We will be promoting the following options as ways to show support for their families and the thousands impacted by the earthquake: - Donations will be collected at each school from January 25th – February 5th. Checks can be made to Glencoe School District Activity Fund. A check for all funds collected will then be sent to the American Red Cross for Haiti Relief. - In a joint effort of Common Good, individuals can chose to contribute by texting “Haiti” to 90999 and a $10 donation will go to the Red Cross International Response Fund (charged to your cell phone bill) - The Takiff Center Park District is serving as a collection site for clothing and blanket donations. These donations will be delivered to the Salvation Army. As new information regarding relief efforts becomes available it will be posted on the school district web site. We thank you in advance for working together to help others.
