FENTON’S FINEST HONORED BY LEAD4YOUTH
On Friday, March 11, fifty-seven students with the ‘Fenton’s Finest’ distinction were invited to a luncheon
sponsored by LEAD4Youth at the Empress Banquet Hall in Addison. Fenton’s Finest seniors are selected annually
by the principal and faculty based on their demonstration of dependability, service, scholarship, leadership and
citizenship.
The event’s keynote speaker, Dorelia Rivera, Director of Government Programs at Blue Cross Blue Shield, shared
a three part message with the Class of 2016: “learn to navigate relationships, embrace the unexpected and be
passionate about what you do.”
The mission of the LEAD4YOUTH organization is ‘to recognize and reward students who demonstrate leadership
qualities and potential.’ In 2014, the LEAD4YOUTH organization sponsored a scholarship for a Fenton senior. But
in 2015, when LEAD4YOUTH founder, Fares Ghanimah had a graduating senior of his own; he decided to host an
annual luncheon to honor all students who receive the distinction of Fenton’s Finest.
Mr. Ghanimah told the students: “When you LEAD, don’t leave anyone behind; when you EXCEL, don’t step on
other people’s dreams; when you ACHIEVE your goals and dreams, do it with integrity and honor; and when you
DEDICATE yourself, make sure it’s for serving others and being selfless.” To learn more about the LEAD4YOUTH
organization, please visit their Facebook page at https://m.facebook.com/Lead4Youth.

BENSENVILLE CELEBRATES 25TH YEAR AS TREE CITY

as a Tree City. The Village achieves Tree City USA status by meeting four core standards of sound
urban forestry management: maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree
ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry and celebrating Arbor Day.

CASHLESS TOLLING ON ROUTE 390 STARTS JULY 5
Happy 30th
Anniversary
Two Chefs!
Two Chefs Restaurant & Bar
celebrates its 30th Anniversary
this year. The Village would like to
congratulate Two Chefs on achieving this milestone and wish many
more successful years to come.
Visit Two Chefs in Downtown
Bensenville at 3 South Center
Street.
Beginning July 5, 2016, cashless tolling will be coming to the Illinois Route 390 Tollway from Lake Street to I-290. This is the
first, all-electronic roadway on the Illinois Tollway system, which provides for a safer, more efficient and seamless method of
collecting tolls from customers.
Toll collection equipment over the traffic lanes reads the I-PASS transponder on the windshield and automatically collects tolls.
Drivers continue at highway speeds without the need to slow down or stop to pay at a toll. Tolls are lower on the Illinois Route
390 Tollway because they are assessed more frequently than other parts of the system. This allows for greater sensitivity for
shorter trips and helps local communities provide congestion relief on adjacent roads.
I-PASS users always pay the lowest toll rates available, 50 percent less than those who do not have an I-PASS and must pay
online. Those without an I-PASS can get a transponder at an I-PASS Customer Service Center or any Jewel-Osco location. For
more information, visit www.illinoistollway.com.

TALL GRASS & ALLEY CLEAN UP REMINDER
Spring has finally arrived, which means the grass and weeds will be growing rapidly once again. Village Ordinances
require vegetation to be maintained at a level under 8” in height. In an effort to help Village Staff in the supervision of
all properties within the Village, please contact us at 630.350.3413 to report any properties that may be vacant or falling
behind in their maintenance responsibilities. Staff can be dispatched to provide a friendly reminder to properties of their
maintenance responsibilities.
Keep Village alleys safe and accessible by trimming and removing overgrown trees and landscaping. It is the property
owner’s responsibility to ensure that overgrown or overhanging landscaping does not project past their property line into
the public alleyway. Please take the time to trim and remove any overgrown landscape to help keep our alleys safe and
accessible. Thank you for your assistance in helping to keep Bensenville a beautiful place to live.

which performed the most hazardous of military operations – the dropping of paratroopers – into enemy territory – at night. It
describes the actions of men, who, off target, frequently lost, and lacking heavy weapons, denied the German occupying force the
ability to counterattack the American amphibious landings of D-Day, June 6, 1944. World War II aficionados won’t want to miss
this special program.

Illinois State Board of Education.

School was in session on Saturday, Feb. 20 as Bensenville School District 2
hosted the DuPage County site of the statewide 2016 Students Involved with
Technology Conference.
Nearly all of the presenters were students, from avid techies who build robots
at Blackhawk’s Underwater Robotics Club, to a pair of Blackhawk newcomers
who created a video to help themselves and other middle school students learn
English.
The conference kicked off with keynote speaker Marcin Kleczynski, who started
his own tech company, Malwarebytes, as a student at Fenton High School.
Kleczynski, who landed a spot on Forbes’ 2015 30 Under 30 list for Enterprise Technology, encouraged students to pursue
their passions and start their own business—and the best time to do that, he said, is now.
PROJECT C.A.R.E. PLUS CELEBRATES 20 YEARS | Thank You Volunteers!
Project CARE celebrates its 20th year this spring! The program began in 1996 with just 10 mentors as a way to support students in their reading education. Today, more than
300 community members, Fenton High School students and
local college students volunteer as mentors in every subject
area, offering educational support while instilling selfconfidence in students. The program could not have been so
successful without these volunteers, who enjoy working with
their students and truly care about their success.

DISTRICT 2 HOSTS SPANISH GED, CITIZENSHIP AND LITERACY CLASSES
Bensenville School District 2 hosted three Spanish-language
adult continued learning courses in partnership with College of
DuPage during the Spring 2016 semester: GED, Spanish Literacy
and Citizenship. The free classes, taught by COD professors,
met Tuesdays and Thursdays at Tioga Elementary School from
5-7 p.m., with a total of 44 students. The goal, said Coordinator Christy Poli, is to provide BSD families with resources and
services beyond the normal school day. By furthering their own
education, parents are better able to teach and be role models
to their own children. Classes end May 26th, but it’s not too late
to join—all three classes have open enrollment and students
are enrolled based on a required placement test. To learn more
about these classes, or to find out about summer enrollment,
contact Tioga Elementary School at 630.766.2602.

8TH GRADE PROMOTION CEREMONY
June 2
During the month of February, Tioga Elementary School’s
Helping Heroes Service Club sold 726 pulseras, or bracelets,
and 30 bags, raising $3,930 for the Pulsera Project, a national
nonprofit that empowers Nicaraguan youth by purchasing
pulseras to be sold in U.S. schools, with proceeds going back
to the youth who made them. Liz Fausto, a 2nd grade teacher
at Tioga, supervises the Service Club along with the school’s art teacher, Katelynn McAllister. Fausto said
what really struck her was that Tioga is part of a primarily low-income district—yet her students were still
eager to help kids in Nicaragua. In fact, Tioga’s Pulsera Project—the school’s first—was one of the most
successful in the nonprofit’s history.

Safety
Pets give us comfort, friendship, and unconditional love. Our connection
to them can be among the strongest relationships in our lives. But pets
can cause fires. We need to be careful with pets in the home.
SAFETY TIPS
Pets and
Wildfires
KKK Pets are curious. They may bump into, turn on, or
knock over cooking equipment. Keep pets away
from stoves and countertops.
KKK Keep pets away from candles, lamps, and space
heaters.
Make sure pets are included
in your family’s wildfire
evacuation plan. Build an
evacuation kit for each pet
in your household. Ensure
each kit is a size and weight
that can be quickly and
easily loaded into a vehicle
when packing to evacuate.
KKK Always use a metal or heat-tempered glass screen
on a fireplace and keep it in place.
KKK Keep pets away from a chimney’s outside vents.
Have a “pet-free zone” of at least 3 feet (1 meter)
away from the fireplace. Glass doors and screens
can stay dangerously hot for several hours after the
fire goes out.
KKK Consider battery-operated, flameless candles.
They can look and smell like real candles.
KKK Some pets are chewers. Watch pets to make sure
they don’t chew through electrical cords. Have any
problems checked by a professional.
FACT
Pets and wild animals have a part
in starting about 700 home fires
per year. Roughly three-quarters
of these fires were started by
cooking equipment, fireplaces or
chimneys, lighting, or candles.
SMOKE ALARMS
KKK Have working smoke alarms on every level of the
home. Test your smoke alarms at least once a month.
KKK If the smoke alarm sounds, get out and stay out.
KKK Never go back inside for pets in a fire. Tell
firefighters if your pet is trapped.
