Virtual Backpack
District 28 invites local non-profit organizations and community government agencies to promote events for families and children. This approach allows us to provide information about community programs in a way that is environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Materials posted on this page are the responsibility of the organizations represented. Principals offer links to new events in their weekly e-news. You can always check back as a handy reference! To submit an event, please email the web-friendly flier to Terry Ryan, Communications Director. All fliers are subject to approval.
