This week your child will have extra opportunities to learn about, practice and celebrate Kindness happening all around us. Our Student Council along with our Social Emotional Learning Team have organized engaging and meaningful activities this week all centered around Kindness.

(Photo above: The Anderson Student Council invaded the BOE Meeting with Kindness Cards and a small gift of hand sanitizer for anyone who walked by. Dr. Gordon, D303 Superintendent, greeted them and encouraged their leadership. The students then went to Jewel and the Library to spread more kindness around.)

...Knowing your parents/guardians filled out the School Survey called 5Essentials. Click below and help us improve. We need about 10 more families to take the survey. THANKS!

Hello Anderson Parents,

Taking a few minutes to fill out this survey really is a great way to help Anderson continue to improve. The information your feedback provides helps our Anderson Leadership Team focus on areas and specific action steps we can take to get better. It also helps us celebrate the many aspects of our school that are awesome! If you have read this far, you are committed! Next step, click the link and take the survey! We need at least 20% of our parents to fill it out.

Thanks!

Nate

It’s pizza time! Starting today and for the next 3 weeks, we’re selling Pizza Kits so we can raise money for our PTO. These funds will help support our teachers and special projects for our school. To reach our goal and be successful, we need everyone’s help. It’s super easy to join the fun!

To get started follow this link to create your very own Seller page. You can customize your page, upload a video, create an avatar, and watch how many pizza kits you’ve sold. You’ll get your own special link to send to your friends and family so they can buy delicious pizza kits and support our fundraiser. Pizza Kits will be delivered directly to their home by FedEx, so send the link to your out of state family and friends, too. You can even post your Seller link on your social media pages.

Every kit we sell earns $6 profit and makes an impact. Don’t forget to buy some for yourself!

Each year students receiving special education, those new to the State of Illinois schools, and those in mandated grades have vision and hearing screening performed in school by certified vision/hearing technicians. Anderson is scheduled for this routine screening during the week of 2/27/23 and 3/6/23. Hearing screening is mandated for elementary students in kindergarten, first, second and third grades. Vision is mandated for kindergarten and second grade for those who do not have a current vision exam. If you have any questions about this process, please feel free to reach out to the Anderson nurses at and-nurses@d303.org

The Art Studio is looking for 200 CDs or DVDs to use for an art project. If you have any that you can donate it would be greatly appreciated! Color, condition, topic, age doesn't matter- they will not be used in any way except as a loom for weaving with yarn. Thank you so much! I'm excited to try this project with our 4th and 5th graders! Mrs. Varga

Just send them to school with your child and they can bring them to the Art Room! Thanks!
