On Friday October 26, St. Ethelreda School will be participating in the 8th annual Lend-A-Shoulder Day. This is truly a special honor for our school!

Lend-A-Shoulder Day is sponsored each year by the Big Shoulders Fund. On this day, members of the Big Shoulders Fund visit selected schools in the morning. Our visitors will be leaders of Chicago's corporate and civic community.

During this morning visit, we will be showcasing our unique school and talented students. Lend-A-Shoulder Day is an opportunity for us to foster relationships with these special visitors from the Big Shoulders Fund. These relationships are vital to keeping St. Ethelreda strong now and in the future.
