Nettelhorst received a brief, but very honorable mention, in Education Reporter Stephanie Banchero’s front page story in the Chicago Tribune, February 26, 2008.

The article focused on the dilemma of Chicago area parents who are trying to get their children into “the best magnet, private and parochial schools in the city”. Nettelhorst was cited, along with Ray Elementary School in Hyde Park, as one of two regular neighborhood schools where the number of children on waiting lists outpaced openings.

A big thank you goes out to everyone who helped Wednesday evening with the taiko drum concert and associated educational activities. I want to thank all the staff who offered their assistance and especially our Fine Arts staff for creating such a memorable evening. It was truly well done. A special thank you goes to Ms. Martin for creating this event for Nettelhorst. If you were not in attendance, you truly missed a great evening. (more…)

The science initiative for Nettelhorst has been very successful. We’ll have a new program next year that will allow all children to explore scientific concepts using activities and experiments. I want to thank all the parents who have been working on the initiative. Without all of your hard work and dedication this would not be possible. We’re actively looking into other ways to bring in additional resources to make the Nettelhorst science program the best in the city. (more…)
