From the Superintendent From the Superintendent

Dear Lincolnwood Learning Community:

The District is in the midst of recognizing our outstanding team of educators throughout Appreciation Week. Each member of our team plays an essential part in shaping the experiences of our students and modeling what it means to learn, grow, and contribute. Their dedication, creativity, and care create classrooms where curiosity thrives and students feel encouraged to push toward their very best. The time and energy they devote, whether planning meaningful lessons, building strong connections, or cultivating welcoming spaces, make a lasting difference on the lives of the students in our community.


We are equally appreciative of those who helped bring moments of recognition and celebration to life through thoughtful gifts, treats, and visible gestures of appreciation. A special note of thanks goes to the PALS organizing committee, whose commitment and hard work not only supported fundraising efforts earlier this year, but is also bringing joy and excitement to each day in a '90s-inspired themed week.


In Educational Partnership,

David L. Russo, Ed.D.

Superintendent of Schools
