If you’ve already heard “I’m bored” six or seven times since school ended, here’s an idea…

The Grayslake Area Public Library is hosting an Acid Wash event with Mr. Nash this Thursday for ages 12–18. Bring a pair of jeans or a dark shirt and leave with a custom 80s-inspired creation.

See the post below for details and registration info…

Looking to personalize your wardrobe! Bring in a pair of jeans or a dark shirt you want to customize with the acid wash process, made popular in the 80s. For ages 12 - 18, register, and we'll see you there! https://grayslake.librarycalendar.com/event/acid-wash-mr-nash-61791

Every year, stores get busier as August approaches. Long lines. Picked-over shelves. Missing items. A simple errand turns into a stressful afternoon.

Ordering through 1st Day School Supplies lets you skip all of that and stay ahead of the rush. Plus part of the proceeds go back to our schools!

Your Frederick/GMS PTO 💙 💛

Summer has a way of flying by. What feels early in June can quickly become mid-July. And then the back-to-school rush begins.

If you have not ordered your child’s 1st Day School Supplies yet, now is a great time to take care of it and avoid last-minute scrambling.

We’d also like to thank Perla with Balloon Bar (Forever Fab) for creating another stunning light-up graduation balloon arrangement. It was the perfect photo booth backdrop for our students to capture fun memories with their friends!

What an unforgettable night at the 8th Grade Dance! The amazing attire, fun decorations, and great music truly lit up the evening! We hope all who attended had one last memorable hoorah before graduation this coming Wednesday.

Congratulations to all of our 8th graders on your graduation! We are so proud of you and wish you all the best as you begin your high school journey. Shine bright, Class of 2026!

A huge shoutout and heartfelt thank you to all of our parent volunteers and staff who helped make the night such a success — from planning and decorating to chaperoning, serving food and cleaning up at the end of the evening. Your time, energy, and support are truly appreciated. We couldn’t have done it without you! 💙💛
