Sorrick Family Focus
Week of February 4th, 2019
Weekly Update
This week, we kick off our "Pennies for Patients" fundraiser supporting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. This year's theme is "Every Hero Needs a Squad," and encourages everyone to fight cancer together. We will launch the fundraiser with an assembly on Monday, February 4th and students and staff who bring $1.00 are welcome to wear superhero shirts, hats, pajamas or capes. The fundraiser will take place between February 4th and February 22nd, and we will also host a variety of fundraising events. Here is a schedule of the upcoming fun days in support of LLS.
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey for parents will only be available until February 15, 2019. This survey is to be completed by parents, guardians, or other caregivers with a child in grades pre-kindergarten through 12. The parent survey is available in both English and Spanish, and only takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. If you haven't had a chance to take the survey and would like to participate, please visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ and select the appropriate survey to begin. If you have more than one child attending Sorrick school, you may elect to participate multiple times. For parents with children enrolled in multiple schools, we recommend that they participate in the survey for each school. Only one parent per household may participate in the survey.
