Advocate Condell Gallery Opening with D70 Artwork
Adler Park fourth-grader Natalie Smith points to an eighth-grader's artwork, which hangs just below the dragon Natalie created. School board member Tom Vickers, member Anne Brandt (not pictured), board President Maryann Ovassapian and Supt. Dr. Guy Schumacher look on as they view the new art gallery at Advocate Condell Medical Center. The gallery is dedicated to artwork from Libertyville School District 70 students and marks the first joint venture between the two Libertyville-based groups. Artwork will be changed every three months and feature work from students at all five schools. District 70 artists and their families, as well as art teachers and administration from the school district and the hospital were on hand for an art gallery opening Wednesday.
Adler Park Phones Down, Please Use Email
The telephones at Adler Park School are still out and may not return until Saturday (5-19) due to a cut cable, according to AT&T. At this time, all phone calls are being directed to the District 70 office. We will try to help you as much as possible from there. The best way to reach Adler Park School this week is to send emails to Principal Jon Bogie at jbogie@d70schools.org, secretary Kim Beadle at kbeadle@d70schools or nurse Kim Hutchinson at khutchinson@d70schools.org. Thank you for your understanding and patience on this matter.
Teacher Appreciation
In honor of teacher appreciation week, the administration at Highland Middle School made lunch for the staff on Friday. The national day of Teacher Appreciation was May 8. Schools throughout the district celebrated in a variety of ways, including parent cooked lunches and student created cards.
Happy Mother's Day
Butterfield fifth-graders held a surprise Mother's Day Tea on Friday, celebrating the holiday a little early with hats the students made from wrapping paper, liquid starch, silk flowers, ribbons, stickers, and a variety of other materials. Hand painted clay pots adorned with student-made flower pens are used as centerpieces at the tea. The students also created a digital movie with messages of thanks and gratitude, and wrote poetry to their moms. In addition to making projects, the students have been practicing to be 'hosts' for the Tea. "This day truly is one of the most special and memorable for the fifth grade classes," said teacher Amy Nemmers. "It is a great opportunity for boys and girls to curl up on their moms' laps, and give them a chance to have their special day. After this school year, our students travel to Highland Middle School and grow up so quickly and become so independent. This is a nice reminder for moms and families alike, that they are appreciated and loved, even as children grow older."
