LEARN: Palombi's 7th and 8th-grade choir students had an incredible experience collaborating with the talented Lakes Community High School choir. They had the opportunity to sing some of their spring concert music together, giving our students a glimpse into what choir can look like at the next level!

After singing, students spent time connecting, playing games, and building community with the high school choir members. It was the perfect mix of music and fun!

We are so proud of how our students represented Palombi with their energy, enthusiasm, and positive attitudes. Thank you to Lakes for hosting such a wonderful event! #elevateLV41 #collaboration

Still “popping” with excitement!

We had so many great moments from Hooper Family Night that we just had to share a few more! Swipe to see our Hooper families in action—from game strategies to hands-on learning, the energy was un-be-leaf-able.

A second round of applause for our Interventionist and the Lake Villa Library for making these smiles possible.

That’s a wrap on state testing!

To celebrate all the hard work our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders gave for state testing, the Hooper PTO hosted a well-deserved pizza party! We are so proud of our students for giving their absolute best on the big test.

A massive THANK YOU to our amazing PTO for sponsoring the food and to the wonderful parent volunteers who stepped up to serve our scholars. We couldn’t have done it without our Hooper family!
