~ Photos: Remember, this week I am on the hunt for photos and/or short video clips of how kids are embracing Habit #3: Put First Things First. If you have anything to share, please do--maybe your kiddo will be featured in next week's video message! Or just share something they are learning or doing--those are great, too! Email is best: ahagge1@isd77.org.
~ Summer Backpack Food Information & Sign Up: Backpack Food Program is opening enrollments for their Summer Feeding. Students will receive a box of food delivered directly to their homes (via a delivery service partner), and it will contain all weekend food items (breakfast, lunch, and snack) for that month. Backpack's first box will cover weekends from June 6th - July 5th and the cut-off date for enrolling for this box is May 26th. Enrollment will be open all summer, but they'll have cut-off dates so they'll know exactly how much needs to be packed up. Families can be signed up/enrolled here: https://forms.gle/9GijweiVPTfqG3gPA
In this together,
