News from District 153

On Jan. 12th, Chicago Bears' Linebacker D'Marco Jackson made a surprise visit to Ms. Henson's 5th-grade class at Churchill School. The class wrote to players in the beginning of the school year. Jackson struck up a steady correspondence with the class culminating in the visit on Monday. He gave high-fives and signed autographs for every student. He also briefly addressed the class to tell them how much their letters meant to him and the rest of the team.
