I love first days and this one did not disappoint with a DJ and the best hype man in Jeremy E. Christian welcoming our 6-8 graders. The preparation of the Julian staff and centering the student experience ensured a smooth and super fun entry to SY23! Go Jayhawks! #weareD97

Our EC Team made sure our youngest learners had a great time on Halloween by creating several theme-based, meaningful, learning stations. Next time I want to visit the haunted house and go on a hayride. #D97Strong Oak Park District 97 Michele Suedbeck
