The 5Essentials survey closing date is quickly approaching. In order to receive a report, we must have 20% of our parents from each building complete a survey. We are currently far from this goal. Would you be willing to take 10-15 minutes to complete a survey? We want your voices to be heard. You can fill out a survey for each child in your family. #br_u_knighted Visit this site to complete survey: https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/?target_name=parent
