An incredible day celebrating Laremont School becoming a certified MOVE™ Model Site — the only one in Illinois and 1 of just 30 in the world. Seeing students dancing, moving, and thriving alongside such dedicated staff was truly unforgettable. Honored to have been part of it.

As a culminating event for our Unique Curriculum at Laremont, a petting zoo visited our school for a fun, hands-on learning experience.
Students explored farm animals' features, needs, and behaviors, while celebrating the special qualities that make each living thing unique.

We celebrated this exciting milestone yesterday with an afternoon filled with movement, joy, and community.

Congratulations to everyone who helped make this well-deserved recognition possible!

After two years of dedication, collaboration, and a shared commitment to our students, Laremont has officially been recognized as a MOVE Model Site.

This achievement reflects the hard work of our staff and their unwavering belief in every student’s potential.

They work tirelessly to ensure every student has the tools they need to connect with the world around them.

Take a moment this month to thank an SLP for the "word" they do! (And yes—we think they look pretty great in their matching gear, too!)
