On the morning of June 5th, 2018 the residents in 1745 W. Touhy experienced a tragic fire that left the building uninhabitable. The fire displaced over 40 people, including 13 children.
4 of those children attend New Field and 2 attend Eugene Field. A number of the other children attend neighborhood schools including Sullivan High School and Von Steuben Prep.
In all, four New Field/Eugene Families lost everything and our school and Rogers Park community has stepped up to help them out in their time of need.
There are many ways you can help:
-
- Donating loose change to your child’s homeroom
- Friends of the Fields started at GoFundMe that will go directly to Field/New Field families affected by the fire: https://www.gofundme.com/help-displaced-field-families
- Donating new or very gently used clothing (various sizes are listed below)

Can the formatting be cleaned up so it’s clear which sizes are for clothes and which are for shoes? I know in the letter that went home from Principal Callahan it was in a table format that distinguished between clothes and shoe sizes, but I don’t have that letter with me and I’d like to forward the info in this post.

Hi Natalie, I reformatted as tables. Let me know if that displays correctly for you. Thanks for the suggestion. Best, Joe
