When Phil McCrevice is so committed to DPM culture, he even shares a piece of his student-made cheesecake with you. (10/10 on aesthetic, 10/10 on taste, by the way).

The Q-TIP mindset is so simple, yet revolutionary. It was a major a-ha moment that changed who I am as an educator 💡

DPM students were extra cozy today. Thanks, SLS for hosting a fun pajama Friday! #dpm67

This kiddo was on a mission to spread positivity today! #dpm67 @dpmbraves67

Outstanding work from a school district near and dear to me. Great job, Waukegan!

DPM Halloween 2021

Inspiring reminders from our instructional coach, Ms. Ryon during our pedagogy meeting. “I really admire…” has been my personal favorite this year. #dpm67 #allin67

I present to you the winner of DPM’s 1st Annual Chili Cook Off and Golden Ladle Recipient, Molly “The Meat Master” Escobar! 🥇🌶 #dpm67

We came, we saw, we mastered! Julie Pasinato and I celebrated earning our Master’s degrees from National Louis University this weekend. So grateful for such an incredible colleague and classmate!

This year will be my first not having a “first day,” and it’s bittersweet. For the next year, I’ll be cherishing every moment I have with my two greatest joys. Wishing all of my colleagues an incredible school year, and I’ll see you in Fall 2023!

Happy 103rd Birthday, Sister Jean! 🥳 #SisterJean103

“Math is dry if we just focus on the final answer. The beauty, the creativity, the excitement- a lot of that is found in the process, and we lose out on all of that if we just focus on the final answer.”
