A.N. Priztker School, 2009 W. Schiller, is one of two schools in Chicago that has a regional gifted center and a fine and performing arts program. It's also neighborhood school, which means that if you live within 1.5 miles of the school you are automatically enrolled. Pritzker has a diverse student body, active parent involvement and philanthropic funding from the A.N. Pritzker Youth Foundation. An open house is scheduled for 10 am-noon Oct. 15. The school currently has 678 students.
Handbills
EVA is awarding a Dominick's $25 gift card to the person who collects the most handbills placed on their property and brings them to the next EVA meeting. This is an attempt to alert the alderman to the vast amount of handbills being distributed and the need to enforce the no-handbill ordinance.
