Looking forward to presenting at the 2024 Lake County School Safety Conference! Excited to hear Scott Tillema's keynote on 'Connection in Times of Crisis' and share insights on enhancing school safety with fellow professionals. #SchoolSafety lake.k12.il.us/safetyconf 🌟

I’m so proud to work alongside the National Safety Director of the Year &can’t wait to learn more about school safety at this year’s conference 💪🏼

In D95, safety is everyone’s job &Danielle works hard to keep our schools a SAFE place to learn& work. 💙

👇🏻 I love this! Building in hands-on learning with visuals and labeling the layers helps Ss’ brains engage 🧠

Their excitement to do something “out of the box” releases dopamine to help new learning stick. 💙
