Mrs. Simmons' Students Enjoy Dr. Heggerty Memorial Books
Over 450 books were purchased, and every student was able to choose their own title to take home last Thursday.
The Dr. Michael Heggerty Memorial Fund helped to foster literacy in honor of a dedicated Edgewood teacher, whose passion was to inspire a lifelong love of learning for all if his students.

Dear Edgewood Families...
The Last Week for the 5 Essentials Survey
Please take time now for the 5-minute 5Essentials online survey. We are currently at 12% completion, by 52 Edgewood families.
The staff and I appreciate your input, and we will not have access to the feedback unless we reach 30% participation. Each adult family member in the home can take the survey, using individual e-mails.
Taking the Survey:
1) Go to https://illinois.5-essentials.org. There will be a "Take the Survey" button in the upper right hand of the screen.
2) Once you click this button, click the "Parent" button, and a unique log in will appear.
3) All surveys must be completed in one sitting.
4) Once you have completed your survey, please click the "Submit" button.
5) The survey is being offered in English and Spanish.
I will also have the Computer Lab open and the site available on each PC during our Open House, if you would like to stop in then to complete the survey.
