An Exciting Week in SD81!

February 6, 2015

Some exciting events took place in School District 81 this week!  The reading room teachers from Kennedy School were selected to present their proposal “How to Effectively Implement and Organize a District Wide Leveled Reading Program for All Students” at the NCLB Conference this week in Chicago.  We are so proud to have this talented group of educators represent us at this annual state-wide conference. Thank you and congratulations to Kristen Savage-Stringer, Rose Karas, Anne Weinthaler, Tami Erickson, Cheri Grimaldi, Julie Fister, Barbara Brzozowska, Diane Serio, and Tanya Disheva!

The Schiller Park Education Association (SPEA) did an outstanding job of hosting a Meet the School Board Candidates Community Forum at Lincoln Middle School last night.  It was a great opportunity for the community to hear the candidates discuss who they are and why they are running for school board in their own words.  I applaud the SPEA’s efforts in offering this event to the public.  Thank you to all who attended, including the candidates, SPEA members, the SD81 administration, and community members.

I think the students in the SLC/SLBC liked the snow more than the rest of us this week! Please enjoy these pictures of them playing and sledding. I hope the pictures bring you joy and give you an idea of what School District 81 is all about.  Have a wonderful weekend!
