As summer is in full swing, we’re taking a moment to reflect on and celebrate the incredible 2024–25 school year at CICS Loomis—a year filled with discovery, connection, and meaningful growth for our youngest learners.
One of the most exciting moments this year was the opening of our brand-new school library, made possible through a generous partnership with Big City Readers and Loews Chicago Hotels. This beautiful, book-filled space will encourage students to explore new worlds, build literacy skills, and develop a lifelong love of reading for years to come!
We were also grateful for the generous support of Enchanted Backpack, whose donations helped ensure classrooms were stocked with essential supplies and engaging resources. These contributions made a direct impact on our students’ learning experiences—allowing teachers to create joyful, hands-on lessons every day.
Events like Literacy Night and our Be the Peace event—made possible by the BOWS grant brought—parents, caregivers, and students together in celebration of learning. Thanks to Ms. Grier, our Community Hub connected families with the supplies, resources, and support they needed most—ensuring every learner and family felt seen and supported.
Thank you to our families, staff, and students for making the 2024–25 school year one to remember. Here's to a restful, fun-filled summer—and to an even brighter year ahead!
