Principal's Letter
September 27, 2020
Good Evening. Here are a few updates as we begin week 4: Food Distribution at Budlong - Unfortunately, the date is being pushed back due to the construction in the building and we will NOT be distributing food this week. Once we have a date that is confirmed, I will send an update. This link locates CPS distribution sites across the city: https://schoolinfo.cps.edu/mealdistributionsites/index.html?timePeriod=postspring Student Supply Bags - We will continue to distribute supplies on Monday in the green space between our annex and the hospital. If you are unable to come Monday, please contact the main office at 773-534-2591 to make an appointment. Tech Support - For all tech-related matters, please use techbudlong@gmail.com. Do not go to the school for tech assistance as we do not always have staff there specifically for tech help. Administrator Office Hours - Starting this week, Principal Nakayama and Asst. Principal Bruno will host office hours every Wednesday morning from 8-9am. The link will be available in your teacher's classroom. Friends of Budlong - The first meeting of the year is Thursday, 10/1, at 8pm, and all are welcome. Be on the lookout for the Zoom invite. Have a #budlongbeautiful week! -----------------------------------------

Dear Budlong community,
We are excited to announce that two Budlong students have won the Gwendolyn Brooks Youth Poetry Award! Keya Dhungana’s “Frenemy” and Ava Rucker’s “Winter Stuff” won both spots in the 3rd grade category. Their poems can now be read on the Illinois Humanities website and they will be honored at a virtual ceremony later this month. The annual competition is open to all Illinois poets in grades K–12. This year’s winners were selected from a pool of 264 submissions representing 76 Illinois schools.
From Gabrielle Lyon, executive director of Illinois Humanities:
“The writers who submitted poems to the 2020 Gwendolyn Brooks Youth Poetry Awards are members of a powerful community of Illinois writers of all ages. These young poets’ words can help us find our purpose and sense of possibility in the face of today’s hardships. These writers are the forerunners of the future and, in their words, we can find, perhaps, what is most important to pay attention to in our shared present.”
Read the full press release here.

Congratulations Keya and Ava!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!
Dear Budlong Teachers and Staff,
We want to express our deep gratitude for all you do... always, and especially now. We can't wait for the day that we can thank you in person, but until that day comes, please know that your dedication to our children does not go unnoticed. You create stability during uncertain times, community when we have to be apart, and hope when it's needed most.
On behalf of all of us, thank you for enriching and educating our children, and also for the love and care you show them every day.
In gratitude,
Friends of Budlong
