What an incredible morning speaking to District 54 educators at Willow Creek, outside of Chicago. They are ranked the top school district in the country and they were truly an amazing group! I talked about the power of a connected, committed and positive team with a great culture

Our wonderful new principal, Kristine Belt, introduced the Dooley School 54 staff to students and families! It’s a new year, and we’re feeling #54Strong and exuding #54Positivity! This year we’re going to let our superpowers shine! #DooleySuperpowers #DooleyFamily #54AsOne

8th grade LA students interviewed a classmate and then wrote mini biographies. We enjoyed learning more about each other while practicing our informational writing skills. #Accept #Achieve #Amaze #AddamsCrusaders #54AsOne

1st graders learned about the upcoming eclipse today and made models to show the path of the moon! #MuirMoments

Students & staff were over the moon about witnessing the eclipse today! Leading up to the event, students engaged in interactive lessons about eclipses, tailored to each grade level. We gathered outside to experience this rare celestial event & left feeling out of this world!
