Our curriculum department had a productive week at #D83shines! Our team of dedicated teachers, led by Mr. Kruski, has written common outcome assessments aligned to our K-8 Social Studies curriculum. Assessment validation is forthcoming in 2025-2026! youtu.be/USVzsYOzH-s

Teamwork makes the dream work! ❤️ Queen and I wrapped up our DIY garden screen project before the rain 🌧️ Turned out nice. #gardengoals

When it comes to running, he’s the coach. Ben pushed me to run two miles without stopping. Not an easy task for a weight lifter! 🏋🏻 #fitleaders #dadlife

Volunteered with the DuPage Hispanic Alliance MortonArboretum 🌳✨ I helped run a painting table where kids created art together. It was such a great reminder of what happens when community comes together. Grateful for a day of color, connection, and celebration. #Community

Christmas lights Brookfield Zoo Chicago with my teenagers. A lot of laughs, a little sarcasm, and more togetherness than they’d ever admit. That’s the kind of holiday magic I’ll hold onto. 🎄✨#dadlife
