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.

From our Social Worker

Pennoyer's service continues!

Pennoyer School Social Worker would like to thank everyone for participating in this year's Pennies for Patients fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
 
Last year we raised $880 in 3 weeks, this year we doubled that and brought in over $1600 for them. Way to go!
 
There were 5 classes that brought in over $100 and several others that came close to the $100 mark. Three grades brought in over $200 each:1st grade ($211), 2nd grade ($219) and 6th grade ($237). Five grades brought in over $100 each: Kindergarten , 4th grade, 5th grade, 7th grade and 8th grade. Third grade came so close with $98.
 
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society donates a $50 gift card to the grade that raises the most money (and if the school raises over $500). Ms. Stutzman is submitting the paperwork for the 6th grade, who raised the most, to receive this gift card for class party.
 
Congratulations again to everyone for all their hard work!
