Kidney Camp helps youngsters with kidney disease or transplants enjoy a full sleep-over camp experience.
Joshua DiGiacoma is 12. He is away at camp this week where he is enjoying swimming, horseback riding and sleeping in a log cabin. Pretty typical, you could say.

National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, prune belly syndrome is a group of birth defects that involve poor development of the abdominal muscles and other problems. The causes of prune belly syndrome are unknown, and it was not in …

Now at Churchill Elementary parents can opt to send their children to other schools in the district.
For the second consecutive year, one Glen Ellyn elementary school failed to meet state performance standards set by the No Child Left Behind Act. Since specific groups of students at Churchill Elementary School failed to reach the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), required by the state of Illinois and the federal government, students can choose if they want to switch to a different school within Glen Ellyn School District 41. Three student subgroups at Churchill did not meet state performance goals (AYP) for 2011: Hispanic, limited English proficiency and economically disadvantaged students, according to Julie Worthen, communications director for District 41.

Joshua is my best friend and he isn't kidding that he likes basketball! We were on opposing teams at upward basketball and I was defending him and he scored against me. He is always there for me and we like to talk on the phone. I hope he is having fun at camp. Can't wait to talk about it next week.From Vince more ›
