I’ve spent the past two days sharing some very special moments with all of you, and taking part in celebrations all over School District 81! Our preschool friends put smiles on our faces with the adorable songs they performed for their parents and families for their end of the year celebration! It was a very special day for the kids, their families, and the educators they have spent the past year with.  I loved watching the videos made by the preschool team, which were compilations of video clips of the children describing what they most loved about preschool, and pictures of their favorite moments throughout the year.  Each family received a copy of the video, which I’m sure they will cherish and enjoy watching together as their little one grows!

Our Lincoln Middle School graduates made me happy and very proud as each one received their diploma.  It means so much to be able…
