Happy Thanksgiving!

Amundsen High School would like to wish all members of our Viking community a happy Thanksgiving and a restful break.  School will be closed from November 20-24 and resume on Monday, November 27th.  In the meantime, please enjoy this beautiful chalkart created by talented Amundsen staffer, Cindy Gerena, who always makes Room 128 feel a little brighter with her beautiful designs.  Thank you, Cindy!

Join Amundsen's Seeds of Change for a Fall Garden Cleanup on Nov 11th and Dec 2!

Seeds of Change, a new club at Amundsen, celebrates native plants, vegetable growth, and keystone trees. Since August, we've built a compost collection, planted 60+ native species, and gathered seeds. Our aim isn't just planting; we spread knowledge, boost community wellness, and cultivate nature appreciation. We need your support to enhance Amundsen's campus!

Join us Nov 11th and Dec 2nd to remove invasive plants and beautify our campus. Bring your gardening tools, or use ours. Enjoy free coffee, hot chocolate, and donuts. Parents and community members: please fill out the CPS level II volunteer form and RSVP by clicking on the link!
