- The Choral-aires Chorus placed second in the Community Teams category raising funds for breast cancer research last month, missing first place by only $25. The chorus raised $3,985 by the time the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure rolled around, with more donations still coming, surpassing their original goal of $3,000. The Choral-Aires has five current chorus members that either have, or have had, breast cancer. And this year, 2 of the team members discovered that their mothers have breast cancer, so they were walking on race day for their moms. One member of our team, Kara Gray, celebrated her 10 years without breast cancer this year. While not a Chorus member, she is the daughter of long-time member Martha Anderson, who also walked with the team on race day. Lindsey Herza

- To celebrate reading, Rockland first-graders held a massive and colorful helium balloon launch at the Libertyville school in late May. The launch actually celebrated that more than 45 first-graders have learned to read this school year. During the event, the students formed a circle, released the balloons and then regrouped in the circle. ''The launch signifies that each student has now become a Rockland Reader,'' said teacher Cheryl Crenshaw. Before a student can release a balloon, they each must read aloud to Principal Jeff Knapp. Robin Smith Kollman, District 70
