Message from the Superintendent

Dear District 204 Community,

This is the season we often think about the things we appreciate most and express our gratitude. At the top of my list of things I'm thankful for is our community. You provide support, in so many ways, for our students and our schools.

Thank you to all those who helped our less fortunate families this holiday season. In many cases, because of your generosity, there will be a gift to open. Our Indian Prairie Parents Council also organized a coat drive, providing warm clothing to those in need.

For the first time, our district was represented in the Naperville Marathon this fall. Thank you to all those who supported the runners who ran on behalf of the Indian Prairie Educational Foundation. You helped our Foundation raise more than $32,000. I spent the day cheering on our runners, appreciating their dedication, commitment, and willingness to challenge themselves.

I also want to thank you for all your efforts to contact legislators to voice your concern about Senate Bill 16. Legislators have stated the bill will not be called for a vote in its present form. Collectively, I believe we made a difference. We will keep you informed as the school funding conversation continues in Springfield.

I hope you enjoy the holiday season and the time available to spend with your children over winter break. We look forward to welcoming students back to our classrooms on January 5.

Sincerely,

Karen Sullivan
Superintendent
