We are so excited to announce we will be continuing the One Book One School process next year. A team of staff have reviewed many great titles and shave elected a book for next year. The One Book One School process will take place beginning in January next school year so we want to keep the title of the book a SURPRISE for all students. We will have an escape room that opens in the fall again for FREE in-district field trips to begin gaining hints on what the book is. The escape room will preview content and be very interactive for students of all ages. Please consider signing up for your fall field trip now in order to gain insight and predict what the book selection will be. If any staff member would like a copy of the selected book please email Sarah Mumm for your copy to use as summer fun reading, but please do NOT share the title with any students.
The current One and Only Ivan escape rooms are coming to a close. We are excited to welcome many families this May for a family night out escape event. Please share with your families they can sign up for their family to attend the escape rooms in May. Final in-district field trip requests can be completed until May 24th. If your grade level would like a great spring activity and wants to attend the escape room, please contact Sarah Mumm to set that up. Thank you for all who came and enjoyed the escape!

Middle School Social Sciences Note from the ROE
Please see the note passed along from Katie Algrim from the ROE:
As the Illinois General Assembly considers legislation to require civics in middle school (please see the fact sheet below), we (The McCormick Foundation) are partnering with the Center for Information Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts University to disseminate the Illinois Civics Middle School Survey (link here). It asks middle school social studies teachers and administrators for information about the current state of civic education practices, barriers, and resources needed in Illinois particularly in grades 6,7, and 8; current progress in educating students for active citizenship; and types of supports necessary to strengthen practice. We expect that completion of the survey will take up to 20 minutes, please complete survey no later than Friday, April 26th
