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.

How can you show our teachers how much they mean to your child?

Teacher appreciation week is not only a way for students to celebrate their teachers but also for people to learn more about teaching as a profession and its merits worldwide since teaching is done differently in each country.

Another important benefit from teacher appreciation week is that teachers themselves can discover why their teaching is appreciated and what kind of teaching is considered fun and informative by the students. Exchanges of this sort are always useful both for the teacher to ameliorate his teaching and for the student to feel encouraged to learn by letting the teacher know what he/she likes best.
In sum, this event is the one and only opportunity that you can take to officially show your gratitude, so make sure you note down the date of teacher appreciation week 2011
