Topic: Community

Join us this Saturday, October 22, from 9:30 to 11:30 AM at London Middle School for a free, community-wide Wellness Fair!

Take part in a one-mile family walk and, during the walk, participate in one of many student-led wellness stations. CCSD21 students will help participants practice a yoga move, learn a healthy recipe, understand the importance of hydration, and more.

Our community partners and local vendors will be on hand to share about their organizations. Stations will include

  • Fitness class demonstrations provided by the Buffalo Grove and Wheeling Park Districts
  • Blood pressure and glucose screenings provided Creekside Health Center
  • Healthy snack samples from Salata and our food service provider, OrganicLife
  • And more!

Overflow parking will be available at Field Elementary School. Families parking at Field can exit Field through the playground at the back of the school and utilize the bridge to cross over Dundee Road.

Bus transportation will also be provided. Families taking the shuttle bus will be picked up from and returned to their neighborhood school:
