Hooper Elementary School

Thank you to our special guests, Lake Villa Fire Protection District. Kindergarten and First Graders were able to learn about fire safety and had an opportunity to practice getting out in the event of a fire, learning to crawl low under smoke and going to a "meeting place" Thank you for your partnership!

Join us at the Lindenhurst McDonalds by Slove Park from 4:30-7:30pm on Thursday September 25 for a one-night-only event: McTeacher’s Night!

Your teachers are workin’ the registers, the deep friers, and stuffing Happy Meal boxes to serve YOU! Come out and have dinner, play at the park, and grab an apple pie to help fundraise for our schools.

15% of all proceeds will go back to our District 41 PTO, as well as 100% of pie sales which will be sold pay-what-you-want cash only in the dining lobby until they're all gone.

Grab your teammates, your neighbors, and your families for a fun night out. See you there!

🌟 Hooper Heroes: Learning & Leading This Summer! 🌟

This summer, our Hooper teachers have been hard at work—growing as leaders and learners so we can help our students do the same! Through professional development in both academic and social-emotional strategies, we are strengthening our foundation with the Leader in Me Habits at the heart of our work:
Hooper Staff is practicing Habit 1 – Be Proactive: We’re taking ownership of our own growth and seeking ways to improve every day. #HooperWay #HooperHeroes #BeProactive

These lucky students got to ride home in a fire truck today. 🚒 Thank you to the Lake Villa Fire Department for making this happen. A fun treat for these kiddos.

PFA field day at Hooper this afternoon was so much fun!

Early Childhood field day fun at Hooper this morning.

Hooper students participated in a read-a-thon through the #kenoshakingfish and tonight they got to go to the baseball game!!! A giant shoutout to the students, staff and parents who went out to celebrate all of their students. They got to run on the field and one lucky winner even got to through out the first pitch of the baseball game. #readingisfun

5th grade Hooper accel math students doing some Building Thinking Classrooms problem solving.  They had to plan a route for an imaginary musician to perform and raise money for a charity, but in a schedule!  The group that raised the most found a route that made them $435!
