TONIGHT – PTA Meeting & Presentation -The PTA is sponsoring a presentation and Q&A with Dr. Thiele, superintendent of DG99 and Jill Browning, Communications Director for DG99 TONIGHT at 7pm in the PD Library after a brief PTA meeting.
Dr. Thiele and Ms. Browning will be giving an overview to the additions and modifications to the facilities at DGN (and DGS – but our presentation will focus on DGN) which have been approved by the DG99 school board. The Downers Grove community will be asked to vote on this issue in March. It the desire of the PTA to inform Pierce Downer parents of what is happening at the high school level because eventually it will effect our children (some sooner than others). Please join us for a presentation outlining the proposed changes, what they will cost and how it will effect you.

Reflections Update – Congratulations again to all of the students who participated in the Reflections program this year! We had 9 total projects that were selected to move onto the Regional competition back in December. Of those 9 entries, six have moved on to compete at the Illinois state level as follows:
- Malini Fisher – Dance
- Rajan Fisher – Film
- Hannah Klemz – Film
- Sajan Komanduri – Film
- Pallavi Fisher – Music
- Avery Miller – Visual Arts
We should find out later in the spring about the next round of judging and competition results for these students. Way to go! The projects that did not move on to compete at the regional and/or state level will be displayed in the library beginning this week. A majority of these projects had advanced to the District level, and we could not be prouder of all of our students accomplishments. Please stop by the library to see these amazing projects!
