Earlier this week parents of students in Grades 1-8 received an email with a survey regarding participation in the Christmas Eve services. This is a reminder to complete that survey by next Friday. A prompt response helps in our planning for this beautiful service led by our students.
Earlier this week you also received a survey from the Village of River Forest regarding transportation to and from school. They need these back by Tuesday. Thanks for helping the village with this project.
