“Food Patriots” Movie Screening at Irving next week Tuesday, 2/12

Dear SEOPCO Community,

SEOPCO is partnering with Green Community Connections to bring a free screening of the movie “Food Patriots” to Irving (1125 S. Cuyler) on Tuesday, 2/12 from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m..  Join Chicago-based filmmaker, Jeff Spitz, to view and discuss his new film, food, and the future of America’s health, environment and jobs. Touched by his son’s struggle with food-borne illness, Jeff weaves his family’s story into a narrative we can all understand. (70-minute rough cut)  Great opportunity for the whole family to learn more about food production in our own backyards, our own schoolyards, our own community.
Attached is a poster with the key information.  Please forward to any friends or organizations that might be interested in joining us.
Hope to see many of you there!

FAQ about new ISAT expectations

I am following up on Superintendent Roberts’ letter from yesterday to let you know the Illinois State Board of Education has also produced a Frequently Asked Questions document regarding its decision to change the performance level expectations on the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT).
