The bi-annual Masters of the Constitution breakfast was held this morning. Each semester, the senior Government students with the highest score on the U.S. Constitution Exam are treated to breakfast. It's the least we can do! This exam isn't just about memorization and recall (though it certainly does that). It asks students to APPLY the principles of the U.S. Constitution to real life. So congratulations to these members of the Class of 2026, and best of luck to you all! 💙
Our Digital Coaches attended the Illinois Education and Technology Conference last month to present their session, "Leveling Up with Expertise Badges." They demonstrated how a structured badging system, using skill-based challenges, empowers students to take ownership of their learning. It was a privilege to share the district's success in fostering autonomous learning in the makerspace environments. 💡🚀💻
Our West Elementary students had an absolute blast in the gym this week! To get into the holiday spirit, PE class transformed into a winter wonderland. Students took turns giving sleigh rides and "delivering presents" to practice their teamwork, strength, and coordination.
