EPE’s School Vision and Theme

Good day, EPE Community. 

This is a reminder that Q3 progress reports were sent home last week. If you did not get one, please contact your child’s teacher directly. 

Also, I want to thank Sean Nash, former Edison Park Elementary parent of three students who graduated from EPE, who has filled our open Community Member LSC seat. Also, long-term parent and EPE supporter, Janessa Seider is now part of the LSC. Thank you and welcome! We look forward to working with both of you to further improve EPE. 

I found this meme last week and figured many of you can relate. I hope you find it funny!

	The District has launched its annual School Food Survey, which is open through Friday, March 21. Please encourage the students and parents at your school to fill it out to help make our meals better!  The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete and must be filled out in one sitting. The CPS Department of Nutrition Support Services will award a special prize to the elementary school and high school with the most survey responses! This prize will include a collection of exciting technology devices that will be raffled off to students at the winning schools.  Information collected through this survey will be used to improve school meals during the rest of the school year and beyond. Thank you for encouraging your school community to fill it out!
	Come out and support the talented musicians of EPE at Advanced Modern Band’s Open Mic night at the Harp and Fiddle on Monday, February 24th in Park Ridge at 5:30.  To accommodate us the Harp and Fiddle will not be taking any outside reservations. Reservations for EPE friends and families are first come first serve. To make a reservation you have to call the Harp and Fiddle and say you are with Edison Park, online reservations will not be available. We can’t wait to see you all there!
