We are less than two weeks away from the District 161 STEAM Night. We hope to see you on February 12 from 6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. at Parker Junior High.
Get ready for an evening where curiosity takes the lead and ideas come to life. STEAM Night will bring together science, technology, engineering, arts, and math through hands-on experiences designed to spark creativity, problem-solving, and wonder.
Whether you love experimenting, building, coding, creating, or asking big questions, this is a night you won’t want to miss. More details are coming soon, but for now, mark your calendar and get ready to explore, discover, and innovate together.

It was a heartwarming scene at Flossmoor Hills ❤️❄️ On this frigid MLK Day of Service, students and volunteers shared warmth in the best way, by creating heartfelt cards for our service members. A simple act of gratitude turned a cold day into one filled with kindness, connection, and appreciation, honoring Dr. King’s legacy through service to others. 🇺🇸
