@EhrhartLiz @DGDistrict58 We can hear the music from the park. Enjoy!

@MrLucianoDG58 You’re going to be amazing in this role, the kids and staff are lucky to have you!

Bradley’s mom asked me to share this beautiful tribute video from the playground spinner dedication we held in his memory. It’s filled with love & heartbreaking joy to see the children & families honor Bradley’s impactful life.
Trigger warning: may stir deep emotions.

Wish I could post a pic of every #Kingsley58 student I had the 4yr-honor of serving. Grateful to serve alongside @BrewsterDG58 in 2 districts; I learned servant & creative leadership, patience, & got a loyal friend. Excited to bring that to my team as Director of Edu in CUSD200.

Brings back memories of my most engaging lessons, built on productive struggle to develop "patient problem-solvers", not just in math but across all subjects. To foster learning, "be less helpful", use real-life experiences & get kids talking & grappling. https://t.co/xJucCjmZKH

Bradley’s spirit impacted many far & wide, teaching us more than we can imagine. His spirit continues to give his mom & grandma strength through an incomprehensible loss. He/his mom helped build our inclusive playground; the spinner is dedicated in his honor🎈🐝 #kingsley58 #dg58

@KyleneJeffers @ArnoldKinders She is such a light in the halls of Kingsley. She always has a beautiful smile to share with adults and other kids. She’s a beautiful mini-me to her grandmother, too;)

[Eleni Gajewski @GajewskiEleni]

A sure-fire way to make an adult cry…give them cards written by children. I cherish these messages and will miss their little smiles & giggles. What an honor to be in the profession of my dreams- working with children. #DG58 #DG58pride #NewBeginnings

It was a close one, but the winner of my last weekly hallway vote, 29-23, was never pineapple🍍 on a pizza. The student have spoken! #dg58 #dg58pride #Kingsley58

Wrapped up leading my last curriculum committee. While bittersweet, looking back on the development over the years, it’s amazing to see the growth & how these educators take excitable ownership over their work; ultimate leadership goal!❤️They’re going to do amazing things.#DG58

Bless these boys

Hug your children, hug your 💜’d ones. 3 calls in minutes. Each disheartening, none related. 2 remind of perspective, time with loved ones is limited. All remind me to lean on community. Today was a hardest day of my career. Dont wait to tell ppl you love, appreciate & see them🎈

[Eleni Gajewski @GajewskiEleni]

@sandycristobal7 @KomenskyLions I love this. Was just reminiscing today of my student teaching 24yr ago.

[Eleni Gajewski @GajewskiEleni]

Blown away by the creativity and persistence Mrs Coleman’s students demonstrated during their invention process and Tinkercad prototypes. Honored to have been a judge. #DG58pride #DG58 @MKrugmanDG58
