The Parent Choral Boosters are hosting a Mystery Murder Dinner on Saturday, March 29, at the Pueblo Lindo Event Center from 6:00-9:00 pm. The event is meant for adults and all proceeds will be used by the Booster Club to support both Chorus classes and Musicals at the Jr. High and High School levels.

We would like to invite you to provide feedback to assist us in driving our school improvement efforts. The 5Essentials Survey, which will help schools and districts identify areas of strength and those in need of support, is open until March 28. There is an optional parent survey that goes along with the teacher and student survey. PBL schools will get a report from the parent survey if the school achieves a 20% response rate. We are asking that you please take a few minutes to complete the survey.
The survey is located at: http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/
