Roscoe
Village Neighbors and Roscoe Village Education
Coalition
Audubon School is fortunate to be located in
a neighborhood that supports and promotes its
neighborhood schools. Roscoe Village Neighbors
developed the Roscoe Village Education Coalition
(RVEC) to educate residents about both CPS
(Chicago Public School) options in the
neighborhood, including Audubon School and Jahn
School.
Since its beginnings, the RVEC has operated an
annual Education
on Education Seminar which brings together
staff and parent representatives from both
schools to answer questions of parents
considering Audubon and Jahn Schools. This event
typically occurs in November.
RVN and RVEC also lend critical financial
support to Audubon and Jahn Schools, from income
generated by the neighborhood association's
annual Retro on Roscoe Street Fest, one of the
largest and most popular street fairs in all of
Chicago, occurring annually in August.
In
October, RVN and RVEC work with Audubon School
on an annual Halloween Parade and Party. The
parade occurs on Roscoe Street, right in the
heart of the neighborhood, and is followed by
the Halloween Party at Audubon School, with all
activities run by Audubon teachers.
In
addition to these important programs and events,
the RVN and Audubon communities continue and
ongoing dialog in order to share resources and
develop new initiatives that will benefit both
neighborhood residents and student and parent
communities.
