Addressing Concerns: 8th Grade Selective Enrollment Test

A parent raised valid concerns about the potential clash of our trip with the 8th Grade Selective Enrollment Test. It was felt that due to the importance of this test, our trip should have appropriate time buffers to allow our students to rest and recuperate. Of course they will have Monday off for Columbus Day, but we’d still like to gather the testing dates for interested parties if it is possible. We will reach out to the Network office and administrators to gather more information. We will update you as soon as we have any concrete details.

Making the Trip Accessible to All
For those of you who are considering the trip for your child:

• Interest-Free Payment Plan: WorldStrides offers a convenient, interest-free payment plan to ease the financial aspects of the trip.
• Financial Assistance: For families that might need a little extra help, WorldStrides also offers financial assistance from $50 – $400 for any family claiming less than $90,000 in the most recent tax year.
• Fundraising: We’re committed to raising as much as we can to help minimize costs. Every little bit helps, and it’s a collective effort.

Speaking of Fundraising…

Fundraiser at Une Année This Wednesday!

Join us this Wednesday, October 18th, at Une Année for our next fundraiser. This popular and highly rated brewery and eatery is located near the Costco in Niles.  Whether you’re dining in or ordering for pickup, it’s another fun and delicious way you can support our cause. Just mention the “Sauganash Fundraiser” when ordering or use PROMO CODE: SAUGANASH for online orders.

Your continued support is pivotal in making this trip a memorable experience for our 7th graders. Together, we can ensure that our students embark on a journey that will enrich their minds and create memories for a lifetime.
