Happy New Year!

I wanted to begin by wishing everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR! It has been an outstanding school year so far, and I hope that our momentum continues. Our school year began with a BACK TO SCHOOL RALLY sponsored by KIA MOTORS and the CHICAGO BULLS. We have had school supplies and toy donations by KIA Motors and Hope International and have had generous donations from Alderman Cochran's Office during the Thanksgiving Holiday. This has truly been a fantastic year for our school community. I am very excited to announce that we have had another outstanding group come forward to help us. CITY YEAR has generously offered to paint our school. More details will follow regarding this exciting event. We anticipate the school being painted on January 19th. The school is closed on that day in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, but we will open our doors to this generous group of young people who want to make our school beautiful! Please visit daily for updates. Have a beautiful 2009 with all of the very best and please have your children focus on preparing for the ISAT each and everyday. I know that 2009 will bring us the BEST ISAT SCORES in the CITY! YES WE CAN!
