To say we are fans of Lindsay Currie is an understatement! Her presentation was so engaging and my HP 5th graders have all read 3+ of her books!! We were psyched for her to come to Puffer today! #dg58pride #authorfest

Books matter. Grateful to the HP families who made sure EVERY Puffer student took home a book from the book fair. Your generosity makes a real impact 💕 #dg58pride

Henry Puffer enjoyed our whole school read-in today! The halls were silent as we all (teachers included) celebrated our school’s love of reading! Thank you 6th grade buddies for helping out our Kinders 😊📚 #dg58pride

Photography club’s model of the week? Our HP therapy dog, Toby! One of my favorite photo club sessions ever!! 🐕‍🦺📸 #dg58pride

The Fourth Market was an incredible success this year. This idea started back in 7th grade in Dr. Kevin B. Russell’s S.S. class! I’ll never forget making a product & selling it to my classmates. This project still brings joy to HP’s 4th graders! Thank you for stopping by! #dg58pride

It’s a beautiful day at Henry Puffer thanks to our incredible PTA! The absolute happiest morning in the teachers lounge! 💐💕 #dg58pride #teacherappreciationweek

This morning’s PTA pop-up flower shop was beyond well planned. 🌸 What a joyful way to start the day-creating beautiful bouquets alongside the amazing people we work with everyday. Huge thanks to our incredible PTA. We are lucky to have the best! 💐❤️#dg58pride #pufferpride

There is nothing more rewarding as Superintendent than seeing one of your former students doing an amazing job as a teacher! #dg58pride

Being individually recognized in a job that’s so close to my heart is so rewarding. I’m truly grateful to work with the most kind hearted kids and families at Henry Puffer, in a teaching role I genuinely love💙 #dg58pride

Kinders made their own town maps after learning all about neighborhoods! They are excited to bring out their toy cars to explore the town back in their classrooms 🗺️ #dg58pride Carrie Murphy 💙

One of the students in my photography club has such an incredible eye. The kind you can’t teach! She just gets it 👏🏼 I hope she continues to be creative through photography #dg58pride 📸

The Henry Puffer Podcast is at the Capitol building showcasing our podcast club for Students for Innovation Advocacy Day! #dg58pride #ideaadvocacy #pufferpride

My 4th graders blew me away with their Genius Hour projects! From erupting geysers and 80’s music games to Minecraft history tours, football facts, Salem witch trails, and even tough topics like WWII history. It was all about curiosity in action! #dg58pride

Our last gifted class of the year 💙 How lucky am I as a library teacher to feel like I have “my own” students again. This groups makes this job even better! Excited for round 2 next year! Beginning of the year ➡️ end of the year HP gifted #dg58pride

When a student from your very first 4th grade class finds out you moved schools and comes to visit before graduation 🥲 my heart is full! #dg58pride

HP Volunteer breakfast today! We all appreciate our puffer parents so much!! #pufferproud

This years PTA teacher experience with the sweetest sixth grade girlies! We explored the teen section of Anderson’s (new for me!!) and enjoyed an ice cream cone on this gloomy, rainy day!

This pop of color and memories in the hall made me smile! I love how this turned out! Thanks Henry Puffer School - Downers Grove 58 Family Committee for planning this activity! #dg58pride #pufferproud

Best of luck to our HP 6th graders moving on to Herrick!! 💙 #pufferproud
