Making a Splash: D140 Supports Special Olympics Illinois

KSD 140’s Polar Plunge team took a dip in the icy waters of Lake Manteno on Saturday, March 1. Led by educators Kristy Baumgartner, Chrisie DeCarlo, Ashley Krizik, and committee members from each of the District's seven schools, D140’s eighty-three participants raised more than $51,000 for Special Olympics Illinois.

The team earned top honors for individual and team contributions and was celebrated for surpassing $250,000 in Polar Plunge fundraising over the history of the district’s participation in the event.
