This survey is intended to gather input to understand what is working well, identify areas for improvement, and describe ways District 214 could expand education and accelerate achievement for all in the coming years.

Summer EBT, or SUN Bucks, is a new permanent nutrition program authorized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to help families buy food for their school-aged children during the summer. SUN Bucks 2024 will provide a $120 annual benefit to eligible children via an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) issuance by the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) later this summer. More basic information on the new federal program is available on the USDA Information for Families webpage. Illinois is one of 36 states that have announced their intent to launch Summer EBT in summer 2024.

Pride Month is dedicated in celebration and commemoration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer pride. It is celebrated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. The purpose of the commemorative month is to recognize the impact that LGBTQ+ individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.

Originally started in 2014, Immigrant Heritage Month is a month-long celebration that allows communities to explore their own heritage and celebrate the shared diversity within communities. During this month, we honor the contributions of immigrants to our great Nation and celebrate their profound impact.

Since 2006, June has been designated as Caribbean-American Heritage Month by Presidential Proclamation. The month-long observance promotes the rich culture and heritage of the Caribbean-American people and their contribution to the United States of America.

Eid al-Adha, known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is the second of two great Muslim festivals, the other being Eid al-Fitr. It is considered the holiest of the two Eids and celebrated by millions of people around the world. Eid al-Adha is also a time for visiting with friends and family and for exchanging gifts.

Juneteenth is a federal holiday celebrated to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the US. On June 19th, 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War, enslaved people were declared free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, honors the end to slavery in the United States.

It is that time of year again! Storytime in the Park returns as the bookmobile and Kids' World staff visit some of Arlington Heights favorite parks for stories, songs and special summer activities. No registration is required.

When/Where:

• Tuesday mornings @ Pioneer Park
• Wednesday mornings @ Camelot Park
• Thursday evenings @ Sunset Ridge Park

10+ years ago, Elle, Megan, and Alyssa were walking the halls in District 25 as students; now, they've got their own classrooms in District 25 as teachers!

In the last #d25Connections of the 2023-2024 School Year, we caught up with these first-year District 25 teachers along with the teachers that they credit with inspiring them to become educators - Mrs. Carlson, Ms. Iacovelli, and Mrs. Scott. Talk about a full circle moment! #d25connections #d25itspersonal
