To coincide with Veterans’ Day 2009, students, staff and the community are invited to participate in the annual Operation Support Our Troops collection. Begun in 2003 by District 203 mom Debi Rickert to send supplies to our soldiers overseas, Operation Support Our Troops has grown from the basement of her Naperville home to a multimillion dollar initiative occupying two warehouses. Donations are being accepted at all District 203 schools and the Administrative Center through Friday, November 13. To view the Top 10 list of items being sought, see the Support Our Troops flyer posted on the District 203 virtual backpack page, known as vB203.

The Naperville Technology Group, Inc. and student volunteers operating through a business partnership with District 203 have refurbished retired District computers purchased by the Naperville Education Foundation (NEF) with the intention to support students who are having challenges in school due to not having access to a computer at home. A special fund has been developed with the NEF through money raised from the sale of refurbished District 203 computers. The purpose of this project is to provide funding to support the computer redeployment program for students in need, as well as to provide funding for the Naperville Education Foundation. For details regarding the November 14 NEF Community Computer Sale, see the flyer posted on vB203, District 203's virtual backpack page.
