Kudos to Mary Santi for being thoughtful and generous by offering her room to use for reading when available. It really saves time when we take students upstairs.
Thank you Mary!

I want to give a shout out to my planning partners today; Erica, Kim L. and Chris Brown! Putting all our heads together to plan for this big and important shift for our 4th graders was much needed today, and I think we rocked it! Another shout out to my 4th grade team (the Care Bears). Thanks for being patient, supportive and understanding! A special shout out to Erica! Without you this would not be happening for our kiddos, so thank you so so much for all the work you’ve done!

Thank you Walter Nickles for helping a student who was a bit distraught about homework club...coming in with such a cheerful attitude and putting his mind at ease.

Kudos to Maureen D. for lending me four boxes for my new UFlI friends! I appreciate you!
and
Kudos to Misty M. for showing me how she does UFLI so I can better accommodate one of our students! You are the best!

This past Thursday I walked out to see my tire was flat! Thank you to Leah Falster for helping me look for my spare, jack and pump. Thank you to Mike Fefferman and Scott Donovan for inflating my tire, making sure it was holding air, and continuing to look for my non-existent spare. And thank you to Dan Olson who told me about Depot Tire in Fox Lake who patched the hole to get me home!
and
A giant THANK YOU to Oner Medrano and Leah Falster - you are the BEST! Thank you for your dedication, support and consistency with the ILPB program at Stanton! The students and I would be lost without it
and
Jeff Sefcik, Rachelle Peters, & Lynn Smolen - thank you so much for your support and care during a difficult time - we truly are a district that puts family first - both personal and work

Jill Becmer for organizing our Day of Service 2 trip. The 25 students that qualified to participate and Mr. Lomas (Super Chaperone) had a blast and made an impact on the native plant species at Grant Woods - LCFP! I heard a student tell another student - "this is really fun and satisfying too"
-From Jeff Sefcik (Principal at Stanton)
To EVERYONE who made the Dia de los Muertos event happen! I'm blown away by the pictures, and I
I hate that I couldn't be there--my oldest had all 4 wisdom teeth out on Friday. YOU ALL ARE
AMAZING!!!!

sincerely appreciated.
