Ashley Wise is still a junior at Glenbrook North, but her energy around the school s May 29 senior prom translates loud and clear over the phone. I m very, very, very excited. I m so excited to be able to throw this for the seniors and also go to it with the Junior Board. I haven t been to a dance in a very long time, and so it ll be exciting to get back in that groove, she exclaimed.
I m just excited that the seniors get this opportunity, that s what I m excited about the most.
She and some 25 others on the Glenbrook North s Junior Board, along with staff members, are sussing out the details of the interactive photo booth, arcade games, fun giveaways, decorations and such for the school s senior prom that spans both the Grand Ballroom and the Grand Marquee Pavilion at the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort.
Some retirements are somber and some are worth celebrating.
This one was worth celebrating.
The Glenbrook High Schools District 225 board on May 10 resolved to retire its 2020-21 Learning and Operational Plan effective the last day of school, June 4.
Planned in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and subject to its ebbs and flows, it was a learning plan like no other. As I was reading through my notes over the weekend, I realized that we are now in our 14th month of our response to the pandemic. On some days it seems like it hasn t been that long, and other days it seems twice that long, said board Superintendent Dr. Charles Johns.
As the school year winds down, several suburban school districts are stepping up efforts to get older students inoculated against the COVID-19 virus before they break for summer.
