FENTON’S FINEST HONORED BY LEAD4YOUTH On Friday, March 11, fifty-seven students with the ‘Fenton’s Finest’ distinction were invited to a luncheon sponsored by LEAD4Youth at the Empress Banquet Hall in Addison. Fenton’s Finest seniors are selected annually by the principal and faculty based on their demonstration of dependability, service, scholarship, leadership and citizenship.

The event’s keynote speaker, Dorelia Rivera, Director of Government Programs at Blue Cross Blue Shield, shared a three part message with the Class of 2016: “learn to navigate relationships, embrace the unexpected and be passionate about what you do.”

The mission of the LEAD4YOUTH organization is ‘to recognize and reward students who demonstrate leadership qualities and potential.’ In 2014, the LEAD4YOUTH organization sponsored a scholarship for a Fenton senior. But in 2015, when LEAD4YOUTH founder, Fares Ghanimah had a graduating senior of his own; he decided to host an annual luncheon to honor all students who receive the distinction of Fenton’s Finest.

Mr. Ghanimah told the students: “When you LEAD, don’t leave anyone behind; when you EXCEL, don’t step on other people’s dreams; when you ACHIEVE your goals and dreams, do it with integrity and honor; and when you DEDICATE yourself, make sure it’s for serving others and being selfless.” To learn more about the LEAD4YOUTH organization, please visit their Facebook page at https://m.facebook.com/Lead4Youth.

It is a nationwide movement that provides the framework necessary for communities to manage and expand their public trees and Bensenville is proud to be celebrating 25 years of being designated as a Tree City. The Village achieves Tree City USA status by meeting four core standards of sound urban forestry management: maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry and celebrating Arbor Day.

CASHLESS TOLLING ON ROUTE 390 STARTS JULY 5 Beginning July 5, 2016, cashless tolling will be coming to the Illinois Route 390 Tollway from Lake Street to I-290. This is the first, all-electronic roadway on the Illinois Tollway system, which provides for a safer, more efficient and seamless method of collecting tolls from customers.

Toll collection equipment over the traffic lanes reads the I-PASS transponder on the windshield and automatically collects tolls. Drivers continue at highway speeds without the need to slow down or stop to pay at a toll. Tolls are lower on the Illinois Route 390 Tollway because they are assessed more frequently than other parts of the system. This allows for greater sensitivity for shorter trips and helps local communities provide congestion relief on adjacent roads.

I-PASS users always pay the lowest toll rates available, 50 percent less than those who do not have an I-PASS and must pay online. Those without an I-PASS can get a transponder at an I-PASS Customer Service Center or any Jewel-Osco location. For more information, visit www.illinoistollway.com.

Staff can be dispatched to provide a friendly reminder to properties of their maintenance responsibilities.

Keep Village alleys safe and accessible by trimming and removing overgrown trees and landscaping.

THE IMMACULATE DECEPTION by Robert ChiappettaSUNDAY | JUNE 5 | 2:00-3:30 PM

In December 1958, a horrific school fire at Our Lady of the Angels in Chicago took the life of 95 people. Most, 93 in fact, were children. Robert Chiappetta has written a book honoring his sister Joan Ann—a victim of the fire—and delves deep into what happened that tragic day. Book sale and signing following the presentation.

THE AIRBORNE ON D-DAYWEDNESDAY | JUNE 8 | 7:00 PM

This presentation, given by local author and historian Robert Mueller, focuses upon the US 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions which performed the most hazardous of military operations – the dropping of paratroopers – into enemy territory – at night. It describes the actions of men, who, off target, frequently lost, and lacking heavy weapons, denied the German occupying force the ability to counterattack the American amphibious landings of D-Day, June 6, 1944. World War II aficionados won’t want to miss this special program.

BENSENVILLE CHOSEN TO REPRESENT DUPAGE CO. IN STATEWIDETECHNOLOGY CONFERENCESchool was in session on Saturday, Feb. 20 as Bensenville School District 2 hosted the DuPage County site of the statewide 2016 Students Involved with Technology Conference.

The SIT Conference, in its 16th year, brings together more than 1700 students throughout Illinois at six different conference locations. This was Bensenville’s first year hosting the DuPage conference, sponsored by State Farm and the Illinois State Board of Education.

Nearly 300 students from around the county filled the halls of Blackhawk Middle School, where they spent the day learning how to code, build mobile apps, make and edit GoPro videos and the ins and outs of robotics.

Nearly all of the presenters were students, from avid techies who build robots at Blackhawk’s Underwater Robotics Club, to a pair of Blackhawk newcomers who created a video to help themselves and other middle school students learn English.

“It’s a conference by kids, for kids,” said District 2 Superintendent Jim Stelter. He noted that 36 District 2 students presented in 17 unique sessions.

The conference kicked off with keynote speaker Marcin Kleczynski, who started his own tech company, Malwarebytes, as a student at Fenton High School. Kleczynski, who landed a spot on Forbes’ 2015 30 Under 30 list for Enterprise Technology, encouraged students to pursue their passions and start their own business—and the best time to do that, he said, is now.

PROJECT C.A.R.E. PLUS CELEBRATES 20 YEARS | Thank You Volunteers! Project CARE celebrates its 20th year this spring! The pro-gram began in 1996 with just 10 mentors as a way to sup-port students in their reading education. Today, more than 300 community members, Fenton High School students and local college students volunteer as mentors in every subject area, offering educational support while instilling self-confidence in students. The program could not have been so successful without these volunteers, who enjoy working with their students and truly care about their success.

DISTRICT 2 HOSTS SPANISH GED, CITIZENSHIP AND LITERACY CLASSESBensenville School District 2 hosted three Spanish-language adult continued learning courses in partnership with College of DuPage during the Spring 2016 semester: GED, Spanish Literacy and Citizenship. The free classes, taught by COD professors, met Tuesdays and Thursdays at Tioga Elementary School from 5-7 p.m., with a total of 44 students. The goal, said Coordina-tor Christy Poli, is to provide BSD families with resources and services beyond the normal school day. By furthering their own education, parents are better able to teach and be role models to their own children. Classes end May 26th, but it’s not too late to join—all three classes have open enrollment and students are enrolled based on a required placement test. To learn more about these classes, or to find out about summer enrollment, contact Tioga Elementary School at 630.766.2602.

TIOGA STUDENTS RAISE NEARLY $4000TO EMPOWER NICARAGUAN PEERSDuring the month of February, Tioga Elementary School’s Helping Heroes Service Club sold 726 pulseras, or bracelets, and 30 bags, raising $3,930 for the Pulsera Project, a national nonprofit that empowers Nicaraguan youth by purchasing pulseras to be sold in U.S. schools, with proceeds going back to the youth who made them. Liz Fausto, a 2nd grade teacher at Tioga, supervises the Service Club along with the school’s art teacher, Katelynn McAllister. Fausto said what really struck her was that Tioga is part of a primarily low-income district—yet her students were still eager to help kids in Nicaragua. In fact, Tioga’s Pulsera Project—the school’s first—was one of the most successful in the nonprofit’s history.

FACT

Pets give us comfort, friendship, and unconditional love. Our connection to them can be among the strongest relationships in our lives. But pets can cause fires. We need to be careful with pets in the home.

Pets give us comfort, friendship, and unconditional love. Our connection to them can be among the strongest relationships in our lives. But pets can cause fires. We need to be careful with pets in the home.

SAFETY TIPS KKK Pets are curious. They may bump into, turn on, or

knock over cooking equipment. Keep pets away from stoves and countertops.

KKK Keep pets away from candles, lamps, and space heaters.

KKK Always use a metal or heat-tempered glass screen on a fireplace and keep it in place.

KKK Keep pets away from a chimney’s outside vents. Have a “pet-free zone” of at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from the fireplace. Glass doors and screens can stay dangerously hot for several hours after the fire goes out.

KKK Consider battery-operated, flameless candles. They can look and smell like real candles.

KKK Some pets are chewers. Watch pets to make sure they don’t chew through electrical cords. Have any problems checked by a professional.

SMOKE ALARMSKKK Have working smoke alarms on every level of the

home. Test your smoke alarms at least once a month.

KKK If the smoke alarm sounds, get out and stay out.

KKK Never go back inside for pets in a fire. Tell firefighters if your pet is trapped.

Make sure pets are included in your family’s wildfire evacuation plan. Build an evacuation kit for each pet in your household. Ensure each kit is a size and weight that can be quickly and easily loaded into a vehicle when packing to evacuate.

SafetySafety

Pets andWildfires

Pets and wild animals have a part in starting about 700 home fires per year. Roughly three-quarters

of these fires were started by cooking equipment, fireplaces or

chimneys, lighting, or candles.
