Thank You to Lake Forest District 67, Johnsburg District 12, Barrington District 220 and Woodland District 50! Where did 33 years go? I will miss you all.

On my last day as an Illinois Educator, I want to thank everyone who has been with me, guided me and helped me learn along the way. While this is not how I envisioned my career ending, we have to be flexible and figure it out.

@Woodland50News Congratulations Joy. So happy and Proud!

I feel so badly for new teachers and administrators right now.

That is all.

A teacher on fb posted this picture (regular line vs. social distance line)... and it only accounts for 15 kids 👀😬🙃 Thoughts??
