Hooper Elementary had a fantastic field trip to the Lake Villa District Library. Our students got an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at how our neighborhood library works—from how books are sorted to where the magic happens behind the front desk.
We are so lucky to have such an amazing resource right in our backyard! A big thank you to the librarians for hosting our curious explorers.

🌟 A Night of Spark & Shape! 🌟
Tonight was truly electric at Hooper Elementary! Our amazing 3rd and 4th graders opened their classroom doors to show off a year's worth of hard work, curiosity, and incredible growth.
Here’s a look at what our young scholars shared:
The Power of Science: ⚡ Students demonstrated their mastery of electricity, using positive and negative charges to light up bulbs and show us exactly how energy flows!
Geometry in Action: 📐 From polygons to symmetry, our students got creative with shapes, proving that math is beautiful and everywhere around us.
Academic Growth: 📈 More than just projects, tonight was about celebrating how far every student has come since the first day of school.
We are so proud of our Hooper Heroes! A huge thank you to the families and teachers who make this growth possible every single day.

Palombi 7th Grade ATD students had an incredible day visiting Hooper School to share their original stories with some of our very enthusiastic first graders. The energy didn't stop at Hooper—the students talked the entire drive back about how special the experience was and how much they loved connecting with the younger kids.
We are so grateful for this opportunity to bring our students together in such a meaningful way. Way to lead by example, Palombi!

This month's DEAL Day, Hooper students practiced Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind by setting fresh New Year’s Resolutions. But we don't go it alone—students then connected with their Synergize Partners to identify their support systems. We love seeing our students take charge of their future and work together to succeed!
Our classrooms were buzzing today as we celebrated Valentine’s Day with a perfect blend of heart-centered fun and hands-on education. Who knew that a little bit of pink and red could make learning so much more exciting?
