The Fenton Community was saddened by the loss of our Board President, Mr. Oronzo Peconio, in January. Oronzo was not only a warm and caring human being, he was a fine board member and leader. He was a Bison through and through and bled Orange and Blue. Oronzo was ubiquitous: he was at the athletic and club events, Special Olympics, Padres Unidos, Przyjaciele FHS, music events and band concerts, Parent Teacher Conferences, first day of school, Food for Families, etc. Oronzo was a friend, and a friend to our school and students at Fenton. We join in celebrating his life, and a spirit that will live on.
Thank you Oronzo Peconio, you will be missed.
To receive your complimentary Think Green t-shirt, you must register at the Deer Grove Leisure Center by 12pm, April 14. At registration, please choose your worksite location. Worksite locations and more information is available on the Special Events page at bensenvilleparkdistrict.org.
