About Pennoyer

Pennoyer School proudly educates children from parts of Norridge, Harwood Heights, and unincorporated Norwood Park Township. During the 1830's, the Pennoyer family came from new England and settled in what is now known as Norridge. The land they settled laid between what is now East River Road and Cumberland Avenue. In 1838, members of the community met at the home of John Pennoyer to discuss the plans for the development of a school. The school began in 1839, in Pennoyer's home. In 1954 it was decided to build a new school at the corner of Cumberland and Foster Avenue. A major addition was added in 2001. The school district proudly educates children in grades PK-8.

We are Thankful for many things in our Kindergarten classrooms.  We enjoy sharing our feast with family members and students.  Children remember the fun and excitement involved in learning about the first Thanksgiving feast . The annual Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast with actual turkey cooked by Ms. Becker and Ms. Shaw; and attended by the Pilgrims, Native Americans, and parents will be held on Monday, November 22, 2010.

This has been a special event at Pennoyer for the past 25 years.
