Fun Lunch is back at AMES and is better than ever! Fun lunch will be offered twice a month beginning in February and will be provided by Bill’s Place in LaGrange Park. We will have a different schedule of foods, so please make note of the days and menu items. Each meal will include an entrée, side, and dessert. Students are responsible for their own beverage. Each meal is $5.00. For allergy or nutritional information contact Kelly Tabb at kmt0906@yahoo.com

All Forms must be returned by January 25th for all lunches ordered for the second half of the year. You cannot order meals on a weekly basis – all orders must be placed at this time. Late orders will not be honored.

Winter FUN LUNCH REVISED 2019

Dear Ames students, family and friends,

A new year has begun! So far for the 2018-2019 school year, we have raised 631$ for Ames through Boxtops for Education and had a lot of fun doing so. Thank you all for your continued support. Which class will redeem the trophy and take the prize? This month is brought to you by Zoo City Treats in Brookfield. Remember to check the expiration dates on your Box Tops! If they’re expired, don’t send them to school as they do not count towards the class tally and will not be accepted. Please submit forms by February 5th complete with teachers name and if in kindergarten state AM or PM. For updates and class winners please follow https://m.facebook.com/BTFAmesElementarySchool.

Thank you Aisha Ilic

Calling all Ames Elves!  

We need your help.  The PTA is hosting the annual holiday cookie exchange for our awesome Ames Staff.  The staff love this event and get so excited to make a box of cookies to bring home to their friends and families. Can we match the amazing display from the Election Day bake sale?  Store bought okay, too.

When: December 20th

What: Two dozen cookies from each elf that signs up

Drop-off – Wednesday, Dec 19 after school or Thursday, Dec 20 before school.  Additional instructions closer to event.

Student Council has organized a fundraiser at Chipotle on Cermak Road in Berwyn on Monday, December 10th from 4:00pm to 8:00pm.

Take a night off from cooking and come grab some tacos or a burrito with our awesome Ames students and their families from our amazing school community!  Some of our fabulous teachers will be joining us, as well.

Our Ames Student Council looks forward to eating dinner with our families at Chipotle and raising money for our school and students.
