On the evening of March 11, parents and teachers from Elm Elementary gathered at The Elm in La Grange for their annual spring fundraiser.

It was a night to remember with dueling pianos by Howl2Go and a live auction featuring school parent John Rante.

Elm Principal Sara Olson and District 181 Superintendent Dr. Hector Garcia welcomed all guests and thanked the parents for their support and PTO for their hard work. The event raised over $65,000 for the school library and playground. ■
