Character Counts! @ Erickson: During the month of February, Erickson will focus on KINDNESS. Each classroom will create a Kindness Pledge that will replace the school pledge during the month of February. Students will also keep a Kindness Journal during the month. Each Friday, students will reflect on the week by answering four questions: 3 Ways I was Kind This Week, 2 Ways Others Were Kind To Me This Week, 1 Thing I Want To Do Next Week To Be
Kind, & The Best Thing That Happened To Me This Week.
5Essentials Survey: Erickson is asking that parents take a few minutes to complete the 5Essentials survey. To complete the parent survey, please visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/ and select Parent survey. Students in 4th & 5th grade will also participate in the 5Essential Survey in January. The The 5Essentials Survey identifies five indicators that lead to improved outcomes for all students, including improved attendance and larger test score gains.

This event will take place March 11th 3:30-6:00 pm where students can build their very own Erickson Eagle to bring home. Due to the need to pre-order supplies, the deadline to order your student’s eagle kit is February 19th. Please send RSVP with payment in an envelope labeled PTO-Build an Eagle (order form & more info attached).
VALENTINE GRAMS: Valentine Grams are due TOMORROW 2/7! Don’t forget to turn these in & surprise your child/friend/teacher w/ a Valentine message! Please place in an envelope w/ payment labeled Valentine Grams.
VALENTINE PARTIES: Head room parents should have reached out to those parents who signed up for the parties next week. Please remember the PTO goal is for every parent wanting to help to attend at least one party. Per school policy, no more than 6 adults are allowed in the classroom. Thank you for your cooperation.
HOT LUNCH: Get your orders in! You have just one more week to order Hot Lunch! Orders are due February 14th! Place your order here: http://form.jotform.com/200186615788968. Receipts are emailed to your account upon ordering. If you did not receive a receipt your order did not go through. We are not able to supply lunches to students on days not ordered. **Please note the side on Monday is now pretzels due to the extreme amount of waste with the salads.
ERICKSON DINE OUT: Thank you to all those who joined us at Panera this week! We appreciate your support! We were able to raise $117.32 for Erickson & the PTO.
