Hamilton Elementary School Home

Our eighth grade Hamilton Patriots are working on a new project for their Civics class with Mrs. Rovito, Mrs. Fischer, and Ms. Jessica in partnership with Multiplying Good. Our goal is to contribute to stopping food insecurity in our Lake View area! We are operating a food drive this holiday season. We are very passionate and excited to be contributing to our local Chicagoans in need! Please feel welcome to send your child with non-perishable food to add to our donation bins!

-From your eighth grade students

 

In addition to the food drive, 8th grade students will also be helping to coordinate a (new) board book drive and gift card donation to Common Pantry. 

Holiday Drive at the Common Pantry!  
Common Pantry is collecting $25 Target OR Walmart gift cards and NEW board and picture books for ages birth to 5 (bilingual English/Spanish books very welcome!) to be distributed to our clients' children this holiday season.

How can you help?  
You can: 
 
DONATE money:  Designate your donation for the “Holiday Drive” and we will purchase the gift cards —>     Gift Card Donation.  
 
VOLUNTEER your time:  Distribute with us on December 8-9 or 15-16; Sign up here! —>  Volunteer Sign-Up
 
DONATE new children's board books: Bring your new books into Hamilton, each homeroom will have a collection bin!
 
We are also partnering with:
The Book Cellar  (4736 N. Lincoln)

AND

Timeless Toys (4749 N. Lincoln)

Purchase a children’s book at one of these local favorites — they will give you a discount and you can leave your book at an in-store bin or bring it to Hamilton. We will drop off all donations for the Common Pantry Kids on Tuesday, December 14th on behalf of our school.
 
Donations gratefully accepted between now and December 13th…if you are able to donate early (before December 7), please do as it will allow us to get items to the pantry in advance for planning purposes.  
 
From all of us on behalf of the Common Kids, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, THANK YOU, and Happy Holidays to you!
