2014 SEOPCO Membership Campaign

SEOPCO:  Celebrating a decade of bringing neighbors together.

Dear neighbors,

Can you believe SEOPCO was formed 10 years ago? We’ve accomplished a lot in the past decade! Working together as a community, we’ve:

* Helped transform the image of Southeast Oak Park, now widely known as a great place to live.

* Celebrated the neighborhood every summer in Barrie Park with Movie Night and Barrie Fest.

* Brought critical issues and political candidates to public forums held at Irving School.

* Regularly sent important information via e-mail to over 500 households.

* Showcased the neighborhood on our web site and on Facebook.

* Offered a voice for expressing neighborhood concerns about public safety, transportation, economic development, neighborhood pride and civic engagement.

As we begin our second decade, we need your financial support. SEOPCO’s annual budget is around $5,000. Barrie Fest and Movie Night require about 80% of our budget. These expenses have been largely underwritten by local businesses.

Now it’s time to show our current sponsors that Southeast Oak Parkers are also willing to support SEOPCO’s efforts on behalf of the neighborhood. So many people tell us that they appreciate what SEOPCO does. Now we need to have that appreciation expressed with a modest gesture of financial support.

Our suggested household annual membership is just $20. Please take a moment to donate:

Use PayPal!  Go to our website and click on “Contribute.” Or you can mail a check to SEOPCO, P.O. Box 1722, Oak Park, IL 60304.

Thanks for your support.

D97 Summer Math Enrichment Classes

District 97 will be offering tuition-based math enrichment classes to our current fifth, sixth and seventh grade students this summer. These classes, which will be taught by math teachers from the district, will run from June 12 to July 3.

Fifth graders will have the opportunity to review the concepts taught at the fifth grade level and prepare for the upcoming school year. Sixth and seventh graders will have the opportunity to either take a review class or a class that may enable them to advance to the next level. Please note that the students who enroll in an advancement class must pass the final exam that will be administered at the end of their summer school course.

Registration for these classes will run through April 25. Registrants will be notified of their class assignment via e-mail by May 6. Please click here for more information on registration and specific course descriptions.
