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.

5th Grade Roller Coaster Projects

At Pennoyer School, we learn up until the very end of school! Our teachers and students maximize instruction and help the children learn and enjoy school all year long. These photos show the 5th grade student projects on roller coasters. They learned about physics, team work, motion, and they had fun!

Pennoyer's 2nd Grade Students wrote and "published" books as part of an engaged learning project. Parents, teachers, administrators came to hear the book readings by the authors at the Pennoyer Perk! This is another outstanding example of learning and school coming to life at Pennoyer School!

Memorial Day - from the State Superintendent of Education and Governor Quinn

WHEREAS, Memorial Day was designated as a national holiday for the purpose of cherishing and solemnly celebrating our memories of those who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield in service to our country; and,

 

WHEREAS, Memorial Day was first observed in 1868 upon the order of Illinois' own John A. Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, who called on every American to raise the flag in honor of those lost and to "
renew our pledges to aid and assist those whom they have left among us as sacred charges upon the Nation's gratitude,-the soldier's and sailor's widow and orphan"; and,

 

WHEREAS, Memorial Day today continues to serve as a reminder to every American that our freedom was bought and is preserved at a great cost, and that each of us owes a boundless debt of gratitude to those valorous men and women who have given their lives to defend our country on the battlefields, on the seas and in the skies around the world; and,

 

WHEREAS, Memorial Day 2011 offers everyone in the Land of Lincoln an opportunity to honor those brave men and women who have served, and continued to serve, as members of the United States Armed Forces; and,

 

WHEREAS, Memorial Day 2011 reminds us that we can acknowledge our debt to those who serve by flying the flag proudly, by paying our respects at the final resting places of those who fell in battle, and by supporting our men and women in uniform through the Illinois Military Family Relief Fund or other organizations dedicated to helping veterans and servicemembers:

 

THEREFORE, I, Pat Quinn, Governor of the State of Illinois, do hereby proclaim May 30, 2011, as MEMORIAL DAY

 in Illinois,and order all persons or entities governed by the Illinois Flag Display Act to fly their flags at half-staff from sunrise to noon on this day, and ask everyone in Illinois to honor the enduring legacy of our national heroes who gave their lives in defense of our nation and the undying American principles of justice, freedom, and democracy.
