Inspiring Minds
The District 39 Educational Foundation’s 7th Annual Bingo Night — and the Foundation’s first ever virtual event — was held on Saturday, February 6th. Sponsored by North Shore Community Bank, the event looked a little different this year, held on an especially chilly and snowy winter evening when staying home was a blessing.

Our sixth annual “Attire to Inspire Fashion Show” was standing room only at the Westmoreland Country Club on November 13th. A new venue provided the setting for some fun twists to this event. Featured fashion ran the gamut from casual to high style.
With winners galore and prizes for all, our sixth annual Family Bingo Night was a blast!
Players young and older packed the Highcrest Middle School cafeteria for an evening of many different bingo games. Families also enjoyed JP McCarthy’s pizza and salads from The Noodle. Thank you to these local restaurants for their partnership.
Many thanks to everyone who joined in the fun and helped us raise money for the D39 Educational Foundation Gripp Grants which provide innovative, outside-of-the-box learning opportunities for students in all six district schools.
For the 7th year of Trivia Night, we changed up a lot, but made sure the fun was amped up as well! A new location at St. Joseph School created a different atmosphere. Sporcle Trivia Master and Jeopardy Champion Seth Wilson led the 19 teams through new types of trivia rounds requiring point wagering and strategy.
