Lincolnshire-Prairie View School District 103
Parent-Teacher Organization
The Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) of District 103 is a volunteer-based non-profit organization focused on:
- Promoting an environment in which every student has the opportunity to grow intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically.
- Promoting a close relationship between the home and the school, so that parents, guardians, teachers, school staff, and school administrators may cooperate in the education and enrichment of our students.
- Stimulating community interest in and encouraging support for our schools through fundraising efforts.
Giving is my Thing!
Sprague school is collecting pajamas (PJs) as part of their year-long Wildcat Way initiative. December's Wildcat Way theme is "Giving is my Thing!"
This month, students will learn about different ways they can give, for example, giving compliments, giving a hand to others, and giving their time to someone.
Our home connection is having a PJ collection benefiting children who are in foster care. We are requesting PJs sizes 5T through adult. Students are also invited to create a coloring of Stripes and give him PJs to wear and bring them to school.

Save the Date & Volunteers Needed
D103 PTO is thrilled to announce that we will be sponsoring the first ever Half Day Fun Fair on Friday, January 27, 2023, from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM! This exciting inaugural event will take over Half Day School like never before. Students will enjoy over 30 different carnival games and activities along with snacks and prizes.
In order to make this event a smashing success, we are in need of a large number of parent volunteers. There are a wide variety of opportunities to get everyone involved at every skill level. From setting up and running the games to helping with decorating or handing out snacks, you're sure to find something to assist with. But that’s not all, if you have a special skill or unique idea that you would like to contribute to the fun fair, please send an email to hd@d103pto.org.
If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up early as spaces will fill quickly.
Due to space constraints, this event is for Half Day students and parent chaperones only. Please also note that this is not a drop-off and pick-up event, all Half Day students in attendance must enter and leave with an adult chaperone. Carpooling is highly encouraged.
Be on the lookout in the coming weeks for more information about this exciting new event!

Why Get Involved

"Two major studies from the 1990s and 2000s showed the positive effect parent involvement has on student achievement and other success factors. They were so influential that researchers today still reference them frequently. A more recent study—published in 2012 by researchers at North Carolina State University, Brigham Young University, and the University of California, Irvine—reinforced these earlier studies and found that family involvement has a greater effect on positive academic performance than does the quality of the school building. And it’s not just students who are positively affected; parents, teachers, and schools as a whole also experience benefits."
