*We have begun work on our Chicago Flag computer project! Interactive activities involving the flag and its symbols can be found here, while Illinois state symbol activities are here.*

*The "Funds for Food" service project has started! Send in your loose change, and we will use donations to purchase food for the Common Pantry.*
