Tonight was truly electric at Hooper Elementary! Our amazing 3rd and 4th graders opened their classroom doors to show off a year's worth of hard work, curiosity, and incredible growth.
Here’s a look at what our young scholars shared:
The Power of Science: ⚡ Students demonstrated their mastery of electricity, using positive and negative charges to light up bulbs and show us exactly how energy flows!
Geometry in Action: 📐 From polygons to symmetry, our students got creative with shapes, proving that math is beautiful and everywhere around us.
Academic Growth: 📈 More than just projects, tonight was about celebrating how far every student has come since the first day of school.
We are so proud of our Hooper Heroes! A huge thank you to the families and teachers who make this growth possible every single day.
✨ Discovery Night at Hooper Elementary School! ✨
Our Pre-K–2nd Grade Open House was a huge success! Our youngest learners took the lead tonight, showing off their hard work and teaching their parents a thing or two.
🔍 Scavenger Hunts through the classrooms.
🧪 Science Experiments and hands-on discovery.
🐝 Learning the "buzz" about Pollination.
📟 Cracking the code with Morse Code.
🌍 Exploring Landforms and the world around us.
Thank you to all the families who came out to support our students. It was a joy to see our little leaders in action!









A huge shout-out to Ms. Effa for putting on such an incredible show—thank you for your hard work and for inspiring these kids!
We also want to send a big thank you to Ms. Lena, Ms. Driscoll, Ms. Greig, Ms. Heifner, and Ms. Lind for all their help in making the show a success. It truly takes a village! So proud of these happy, healthy bodies and big voices! 🌟👏










We had so many great moments from Hooper Family Night that we just had to share a few more! Swipe to see our Hooper families in action—from game strategies to hands-on learning, the energy was un-be-leaf-able.
A second round of applause for our Interventionist and the Lake Villa Library for making these smiles possible.










We had an incredible turnout for our Family Night this week! It was a "spec-kernel-ar" evening filled with games, activities, and a whole lot of learning. Seeing our families come together to play and grow is what makes our school community so special.
A massive Thank You to:
Our Amazing Interventionist for planning and coordinating such a smooth event!
Lake Villa Library for being a fantastic community partner and joining in the fun.
We’re already looking forward to the next one!










To celebrate all the hard work our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders gave for state testing, the Hooper PTO hosted a well-deserved pizza party! We are so proud of our students for giving their absolute best on the big test.
A massive THANK YOU to our amazing PTO for sponsoring the food and to the wonderful parent volunteers who stepped up to serve our scholars. We couldn’t have done it without our Hooper family!







Our Hooper Heroes are proving that you don’t need a pot of gold when you have a great team! Our Hooper Hero's celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by practicing Habit 6: Synergize.
Whether we’re working on a classroom project or walking together to support District 41 in the parade, our students know that "Together is Better." Our students are showing the true spirit of a Hooper Hero by leading with kindness and cooperation.
Happy St. Paddy’s Day from our lucky school family!
