A big thank you to the teachers and students who submitted photos this week. There were 47 submissions in Week 4, which brings the total number of photos submitted to more than 200 in just four weeks! Great job to all who have been submitting photos.

The Regional Office of Education is working behind the scenes and is aiming to make the third photography reception even better than the past two. The big night is Dec. 15, with Batavia Enterprises generously hosting the event again. Water Street Studios is hard at work preparing for the reception.

All high school teachers are encouraged to submit their students’ work to Mike Ademe at the Kane County Regional Office of Education. Without further ado, it is time to announce the winning photos for Week 4!
