 | | EATING MEALS AS A FAMILY
From Action For Healthy Kids Food is much more than fuel for our bodies; it is something that brings people together. Between extracurriculars, work, and the busy schedules of many families, it is often difficult to find a common time to sit down and connect all together as a family. Shared family meals provide opportunities for family members to talk about their day and connect to better understand one another.

The 6th Grade Celebration Committee will be purchasing an unfinished picnic table for the 6th Grade legacy gift. Mr. Donovan will paint "Class of 2021" on the top and all 6th grade students will put a painted handprint and their initials on the table. Then it will be sealed with polyurethane and placed in the playground for all students to enjoy. This project will take place towards the end of April after IAR testing.

Once again, District 54 is reaching out to families and asking you to participate in the annual Illinois 5Essentials Survey to provide them with your perspective and help guide our school improvement efforts. The parent survey will be available online through April 2, 2021, at survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and is available in English and Spanish. Note: the survey will time out and you will need to start over if you don’t finish in one sitting. If you have more than one child, you may complete the survey for each child. You will be asked to select your county and then your child’s school. Be aware that there are often schools with the same or similar names in the state of Illinois. Thank you for your support! |
