Dear Bateman Friends and Families,

You are cordially invited to Bateman’s Centennial Celebration! Let’s come together on Thursday, June 16th at 5pm as a community in celebration of this momentous occasion! We will be celebrating with a large street festival on the playground and on Richmond to commemorate Bateman’s 100th Birthday! Entry will be free for all in our community. We hope to see you there!

The Centennial Celebration will include:

  • Student Performances
  • Food Trucks
  • Face Painting
  • Local Vendors
  • Games
  • Movie on the Turf: Encanto

…And More!

              

 

                                                 2022-2023 Planning

As this school year is coming to a close, our educators are already busy preparing for next year! We are currently curating homerooms, creating schedules, and envisioning a wonderful school year ahead! In order to help us plan accurately, if your family is planning to leave Bateman prior to the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year, please complete the Anticipated Transfer Form and bring it to the North Office.


Additionally, Kindergarten Registration is currently open for all in-boundary families. We would like to have all Kindergarteners enrolled by June 1st. The earlier families register, the more we are able to prepare to welcome our newest class! All registration information is available below and on the Bateman Website. We appreciate your help with this!


Last but certainly not least, we are excited to announce that a new playground is in the works thanks to the generosity of Alderwoman Rosanna Rodriguez and State Representative Jaime Andrade. There is much to do to ensure our ideas come to life and we need your help! We are currently seeking slogans for our playspace project so we can refer to the initiative utilizing the same name! If you have creative ideas, please submit your slogan here!

 

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!


Our best,

Georgia & Kate

Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week is Next Week!



We are so EXCITED to shower our AH-MAZING Bateman Teachers & Staff with lots of love and goodies for Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week May 2-6 - NEXT WEEK!

Our goal is to reach $3,000 to be able to provide every single person at the school with a $20 gift card from our Bateman Community. Let's show them how much we appreciate all they do for our kids throughout the school year! We are not quite a third of the way to our goal - can you help? Any amount you can give will make an impact. We are now able to accept Google Pay, Credit Card and PayPal.

CLICK HERE TO DONATE TO STAFF GIFT CARDS
The Teachers & Staff will also be treated to Donuts and Coffee thanks to a generous sponsorship from Leigh Marcus, Realtor. Volunteers will be cleaning and restocking Teacher Lounges with coffee, sparkling water, treats and snacks. A fantastic lunch is being provided by the BAC & PAC. The full schedule will be sent tomorrow so we can make our educators feel appreciated! We hope to make next week Super Special for our Super Teachers & Staff!

Bateman Booster Sponsor Profile

The UPS Store
Where Community is at the Heart of Every Project




This week we sat down with Danny Scott, owner and manager of The UPS Store @ 4044 N. Lincoln & The UPS Store @ 3320 W. Foster Ave. Danny has been printing Booster materials for years and came on as a sponsor this year. In addition he supports many (probably all) of the nearby schools, he is a 11 year resident of the Irving Park area, sits on the LSC of his neighborhood school, is a SSA Commissioner for the North Center Chamber of Commerce and was a co-founder of the “Friends Of” organization at Cleveland Elementary. Find out more below!

Q: How long have you owned/managed The UPS Store?

A: For 17 years. I moved to Chicago from Kalamazoo, MI where I went to Western Michigan University and earned a degree in Political Science with a Philosophy minor. When I arrived in Chicago, my now business partner offered me the opportunity to invest and I decided to take the risk. In 2008, following the success of our Lincoln Ave. location, we opened a second location on Foster Ave. It’s been a fun rollercoaster of a ride being a franchisee and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

 

Q: What does it mean to be a franchisee?

A: Franchising, by definition, refers to small business owners who purchase the right to use an existing business's trademarks and proprietary knowledge. What’s great about The UPS Store is that once you account for the corporate oversight, you have a lot of freedom to support outside organizations that are local to your operating area. What that often looks like for me is supporting non-profit organizations with in-kind donations, or rather - donations of goods and services such as flyers, posters and banners. By donating these items organizations can use the funds they have in other ways.

 

Q: As a business owner, how do you view your responsibility to the community?

A: I grew up in Grosse Pointe, MI which is a fairly affluent suburb just outside of Detroit and I remember when I was little my mom went to a higher end store and asked to put up a sign for one of the events for the school. The manager declined and his response stuck with me, he said “we might be in the community but we’re not of the community”. As a business owner I’ve taken that philosophy and flipped it, I am both in the community and of the community. I actively participate and support the other organizations around me because I know that building a strong community starts with lifting each other up and helping where we can.

 

Q: What services do you offer at The UPS Store?

A: We’re built on our four pillars: Shipping, Packaging, Mailboxes and Printing. We have a notary on staff and specialize in all things paper: postcards, business cards, flyers, signage, laminating, faxing, shredding, binding, etc. The mailboxes are not PO boxes but rather shipping locations that allow a home based business to have a commercial storefront address; this is often necessary when incorporating business as the law doesn’t always allow for residential addresses to be used. 

 

Q: What are your favorite Irving Park places?

A: If you cannot find me at my office on Lincoln Avenue,  I’m probably at Horner Park or California Park with the kids, biking the 312, playing on the playground at our neighborhood school or enjoying a meal at Churro Waffle.

 

Q: What is something about you that no one knows?

A: I have performed onstage at Disney World (at Cinderella Castle and at Epcot).

The UPS Store embodies what it means to be a community partner and build up those around you. We are grateful for Danny’s long standing support and for all the ways he contributes to the community at large. The UPS Store is conveniently located just off of Irving Park Rd. (less than 10 min. from Bateman by car and only a 20 min. CTA journey) and is ready to meet all your shipping, packaging, printing and mailbox needs.
