EATS: an invite to great food for a good cause

The 2019 E.A.T.S. event will be from 6 - 7:30 p.m., Thursday, March 14 and plans are well under way for another extravagant event. During E.A.T.S., the hallway and cafeteria of School District 166 is transformed into a gastronomical delight, offering a delectable array of tasty samples from local food vendors and restaurants. 

There is also musical entertainment and lively bidding on dozens of silent auction items. 

It's all for a good cause, in support of the Cook County Education Foundation, which awards grants for projects and activities that enhance the curriculum. A total of $175, 881 in grants have been provided by the foundation to activities such as Ice Storm Robotics, Spanish language camp, Wolf Ridge trips, and much more.
