Let's RED OUT for the Lincoln Hall boys' varsity basketball game on Feb. 27!

As is tradition for RED OUT games, we encourage all attendees to wear the color red to show Jaguar pride and cheer on our student-athletes. To support this endeavor, we have added RED OUT-themed merch to our spirit wear store for those interested.

This merch is only available through TONIGHT. RED OUT purchases only will be delivered free of charge to the District and distributed to students before the RED OUT game on Feb. 27. Please note: There is no obligation to buy and all SD74 students and families are invited to attend RED OUT games.

**Important** Follow these instructions at checkout to ensure your purchase is included in the bulk delivery and is distributed accurately.

• In the ‘Company’ field, please put your student’s name. If you have multiple children, put the name of your oldest child.

• Choose ‘In-Store Pickup in Chicago’ as your Shipping Method. You will be asked to confirm this choice twice.

The statewide 5Essentials Survey is designed to generate a detailed picture of the inner workings of schools in Illinois, including SD74 schools. Completing the survey as a parent/guardian lets you share your thoughts on the important elements of school effectiveness. You can access the survey here. The survey will close on March 13. Thank you in advance for your participation!
