The Wheatfield Elementary School Book Fair runs Monday November 10 through Friday November 14 and is a weeklong chance for families to visit during scheduled class times and at designated family hours. Family Night on Tuesday November 11 is timed so working parents and guardians can drop in after school; expect a compact, school gym setup with volunteer-run checkout and gift wrapping options. The school PTC is also planning a Grandparents Night on Friday November 14 that moves the book fair into the gymnasium to welcome extended family for short programs, student showcases, and light concessions. Those who plan to attend should allow extra time for parking and for a brief check in at the main door during evening hours.
High school athletics pick up in early November at Kankakee Valley High School and nearby venues. There are multiple basketball matchups and youth games between November 4 and November 17, including both JV and varsity girls and boys fixtures. Local games are a great way to meet neighbors, scout school spirit for prospective home buyers, and support student fundraising tables often set up by booster clubs. If you want to catch a game, check the Kankakee Valley athletics calendar for specific start times and home versus away designations so you do not travel for an away contest by mistake.
