Would you help the City of Farmer City with a grant opportunity to add more sidewalks close to Schneider Elementary? You can do so by filling out a survey, even if your children don't currently attend Schneider. On 9.18.23, all K-8th graders will bring home a paper copy of this survey: https://5il.co/24n1o. If you would consider completing one per family and returning it to BRIJHS or Schneider by 9.28.23 it would be extremely helpful for the purpose of the grant! Please see more info here: https://5il.co/24n1n. Thank you! #br_u_knighted
