Nobody can do everything,

but everybody can do

something and together

we can do it all. :)

Dear Gombert Families,

October is here and it is

hard to believe we have

nearly reached the end

of the first quarter—

where did the time go?

The last few weeks have seen a lot of

activity here at Gombert as our stu-

dents have settled back into the daily

routine, made new friends, and gotten

to know their new teachers. This

month promises to be a busy one too

with school pictures, a special visit

from former Miss Iowa, Abby Curran,

the Walkathon, and the Monster

Mash Bash closing out the month.

We congratulate our music teacher,

Mrs. May-Hutchison, who applied for

and recently received a $1000 grant

from the Dart Container Foundation!

The grant will be used to purchase

Hawaiian instruments for our music

program. We cannot wait to see the

new instruments in the hands of our

kids.

We also congratulate fourth grade

teacher Mrs. Rodriguez who secured a

$500 grant to support our National

Walk to School Day this month. Us-

ing the grant, Mrs. Rodriguez will be

purchasing some exciting prizes to be

raffled off at the walkathon! In addi-

tion to the grant, Gombert will receive

Name: Jeremy Ricken

Family: Married 14 years to Tania. We have 2 children, Paul (8) and Ellie (6).

Pets: Lilo, our 6 month old Boston Terrier

Favorite Book: The Lord of the Rings

Favorite Movie: Star Wars

Favorite Superhero: Superman

Favorite Sport: Golf (to play) and football (to watch)

Cubs or Sox? Cubs of course.

Hobbies/Interests Mainly spending time with my family.

As a child I wanted to be __________________when I grew up my parents were both teachers, so I suppose it was inevitable. My sister and I played ―school‖ quite a bit as kids. We even had a blackboard in the basement.

What are you most looking forward to at Gombert ? Becoming part of a community with a tremendous reputation for being child centered.

LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL

2010, Issue 2 Page 2

Congratulations Gators Skate Night was a great success! We collected 600 pounds of food for the Loaves and Fishes Pantry and $31.00

in donations. The Operations Manager for the pantry extended a large thank you to the Gators and their families. Congratulations on the

great team work and thanks to all the families who attended Skate Night for making it a fun and successful event! GO GATORS!

nutrition bars, bottled water, and tea to support the walkathon.

With the fall weather now upon us, I want to remind everyone to send students

dressed appropriately for the autumn temperatures. Outdoor recess is becom-

ing gradually more chilly and windy every week, and we want to be sure every-

one is warm enough out there. Thank you for your help!

As always, please do not hesitate to contact us at Gombert if you ever have a

question, concern, or especially a success to share. Thank you for your contin-

ued support!

Sincerely,

Jeremy Ricken

Be sure to mark your calendar and come to our

first ever Go Go Gatorthon Walk for Fun(ds)!

Saturday, October 23rd from 9:00-11:00AM, we’ll be walking around the school to

raise money for our PTA. There will be music, prizes, fresh

air, and exercise! More information will be coming home

soon along with a pledge sheet & envelope. Help your child

collect pledges from family & friends, then come out on the

23rd and walk. It’s that easy and there’s nothing to deliver!

The walk-a-thon is replacing our usual wrapping

paper/home goods fall fundraiser, so we need your

help to make our Go Go Gatorthon a success!

Can’t make it out on the morning of the 23rd? You

can still participate! Be sure to check out the in-

formation packet coming home soon.

Hello Stargazers! Happy Autumn! Fall is a wonderful time of year to stargaze. At night, the Great Square

of Pegasus is visible high in the south with the planet Jupiter below. Jupiter is the bright-

est object in the sky after the moon. It looks like a star to our eyes, but with a telescope

or binoculars you can see this gas giant and its four large moons. Speaking of Jupiter, if you were able to join us for September’s Family Night, the Naperville Astronomical Asso-

ciation volunteers brought over a dozen telescopes! The skies were perfect. Visitors saw

Jupiter and its moons, the Ring Nebula, Uranus, the Moon, and more! We will schedule

another telescope night for a Family Night in spring. Stay tuned for details. Trick-or-Treat! October 31st happens to be the halfway point between fall and winter.

The autumnal equinox in September marked the beginning of fall. Outside we notice the

cooler temperatures and the shortening daylight. The Sun is rising later and setting ear-

lier every day. We see the least amount of daylight on the winter solstice (beginning of winter) in December. Halloween is the halfway point between the autumnal equinox and

the winter solstice. Hundreds of years ago, Celtic people in Ireland celebrated this date

rather than the equinox and solstice with a festival they called Samhain. Their festival

marked the end of harvest season, but also the transition from light to dark and life to

death. According to ancient Celtic folklore, the spirits of the dead would return on this date. To celebrate, people would wear masks and light bonfires. The festival was later

brought to the US by Irish immigrants and transformed into today’s trick-or-treating. Calling all music lovers! This fall the WVHS Planetarium and the WVHS Student Video

Club will bring Laser Light Shows to the planetarium for the first time ever! These full-dome musical experiences will be available for a limited time – October 15 to November

5. Shows include Pink Floyd, the Best of the Beatles, Classic Rock, Led Zeppelin, and Hal-

loween Fright. The shows are appropriate for ages 10 and up. Tickets are $4. Get your

tickets early! Ticket pre-sales will be on October 13 & October 14 from 5-7pm only (at the planetarium). All other ticket sales will take place during the scheduled shows. Visit the

website for more information. Thank you for your continued support of the WVHS Planetarium. Keep Looking Up! Stephanie Rybka [email protected]

Super Science Parent Volunteers Needed We would like to begin our Super Science experiments in the 2nd and 4th grade classes during the month of October. However, we are in need of parent volunteers for each of the 2nd and 4th grade classrooms.

What is Super Science?

A PTA sponsored program, which brings 3-4 experiments to our 2nd and 4th graders each year. The experiments are done by our parent volunteers. They are fun, easy to do, and the kids love them.

If I am a parent volunteer what do I have to do?

Be willing to go into your child's classroom once or twice during the school year, and do a hands-on science experiment with the stu-dents in your child's class (or another class if you would like to volunteer, but don't have a 2nd or 4th grader this year). The experiments are about one hour long, and each one comes with detailed instructions for the parent volunteer. Important: You do not have to be an expert in any area of science to conduct these experiments. Just be willing to go into your child's classroom and have fun!

How do I volunteer?

Just e-mail Natalie Hickey at [email protected] Be sure to mention your child's name and classroom. Once I have enough parent volunteers, I will e-mail you back with more details...

Dear Parent: The Helping Hand Program was established in 1967 through combined efforts of the Naperville Junior Woman’s Club, School District 203, and the Naperville Police Department. District 204 later became a part of this program. The purpose of the Helping Hand Program is to have adult assistance available in an emergency situation, such as a child being lost, frightened, injured, or ill. The police department encourages Helping Hand households to display the Helping Hand sign year-round as a crime deterrent similar to the Neighborhood Watch Program. If a child comes to your door needing assistance, you would be asked to comply with the following rules: Call the police immediately if a child comes to your door that is seriously injured,

ill, lost, or frightened. In case of injury or illness, do not administer any first aid except to restore

breathing or stop excessive bleeding. Do not offer any food, beverage, or medication. The child may be allergic or diabetic.

Do not transport the child in your car.

You can help support this program in two ways ;(1) Tell your child about the Helping Hand Program and; (2) Volunteer to be a Helping Hand household. Helping Hand is a volunteer program and can only succeed and be of benefit to our children if you are willing to help. If you do not have a Helping Hand sign on your block, please consider becoming a Helping Hand volunteer, the Helping Hand sign is a white hand on a red background. Your assistance is not only needed, but also greatly appreciated! Please return the completed application to your school office or to:

Naperville Police Department C/O Marcia Schild
