Pleazzzz Help!
11/2/2024 2:20 pm
We're begging! The PTO really needs a volunteer to chair the Prospect Spelling Bee. The chair will work with Prospect staff to help organize materials for the class bees (grades 3-5) and then communicate information about the spelling bee with the winning students' families. With the help of staff, the chair will host the spelling bee at Prospect in mid-January. If you are interested in helping, please email president@prospectschoolpto.org

Label Your Gear with Mabel's Labels

As the cooler weather starts to set in, make sure your child's outerwear is labeled with Mabel's Labels. If you’re not familiar with Mabel’s Labels, they are personalized, durable, waterproof labels. They are great for everything from shoes, clothing tags, water bottles and backpacks. You can customize them with your name and a design, and they are dishwasher, laundry and microwave safe.
Mabel’s Labels also offers clothing stamps, silicone bands for water bottles and medical alert labels. This is a great way to ensure your items don’t end up in the lost & found or mixed up.
To support our fundraiser, visit campaigns.mabelslabels.com and select Prospect Elementary School PTO. You can pick out whatever labels or product you want, and it will ship for free directly to your house! A portion of your sale will support the PTO.
The Parent List
11/2/2024 2:13 pm
Young children experiencing mental health issues may present with more subtle symptoms. For example, anxiety can present as recurring stomach aches, headaches, sleep disturbances or other physical complaints. Children experiencing depression may become easily irritated on a routine basis or have more frequent bouts of crying/sadness.
The Parent List contains first-hand referrals from local parents about area providers that have helped positively address their child’s: anxiety; depression; school avoidance; eating disorders; insomnia; peer relations; dyslexia; ADD/ADHD; autism and more. Much like “Angie’s List,” The Parent List is a list of resources in our community that have already been successfully used by another area parent whose child has experienced mental health, learning or behavioral issues. Insightful reviews on local doctors, therapists, support groups, inpatient and outpatient programs, tutors, nutritionists, books and holistic medical approaches may all be found on The Parent List.
Click here to read existing Parent List provider reviews.
In no way does the Hinsdale Central High or Prospect Elementary School PTOs, Hinsdale Central High or Prospect Elementary School staff, school districts 86, 63 or 181 endorse or recommend any specific provider reviewed on The Parent List. The Parent List is a subjective forum set up by the Hinsdale Central PTO for your convenience. Parents and guardians are solely responsible for deciding to use any of the service providers on The Parent List in any capacity, and district 86, district 63, district 181 and the Hinsdale Central High and Prospect Elementary School PTOs disclaim all liability for any damages, injuries, losses, expenses, or claims of any kind arising out of the provision of services by anyone or any agency appearing on The Parent List.
