FUNDRAISING-Reviews fundraising proposals, ensures all procedures are followed correctly
DIVERSITY/OUTREACH-Promotes Drummond to neighborhoods outside the immediate area, ensures our school retains its spirit of diversity and that everyone has a voice

The LSC will have its first meeting of the 2006-2008 term on August 3rd at 6:00pm. At the meeting, will discuss how the Local School Council will be organized for the coming 2006-07 school year. All parents, community members and Drummond staff are encouraged to attend. An agenda will be posted.
Alderman Matlak shared some wonderful news at the LSC meeting on May 9th. $500,000 has been pledged from the City of Chicago and the Chicago Park District for the Drummond Green Space project.
In summer 2006, an architect will begin transforming the concept plans designed by Greg Raymond into construction plans. The plans will be implemented beginning in 2007, transforming many feet of asphalt into green space for our kids.
Thank you so much to Alderman Matlak and Mayor Daley for making this happen, and for all the support you give Drummond!
