The Chesak Chatter
July 17, 2026
Greetings Chesak Families and Friends,
This week, we are excited to celebrate Adam Kanoun from Mrs. Kinzie’s 2nd grade class, our October Huntley High Five nominee! Adam was proudly honored at the October 1 Board of Education meeting for the many ways he demonstrates leadership, kindness, and school pride.
Adam regularly contributes to class discussions, encourages and celebrates his classmates, helps his teacher, and models our CHAMPS expectations throughout the school. Most importantly, he shows that leadership can be found in the small choices we make each day to help others feel supported, included, and successful.
As we continue through Bullying Prevention Month, Adam reminds us that kindness is something we put into action. A kind word, a helping hand, cheering on a classmate, or simply making someone feel included can make a big difference.
We are so proud of you, Adam! Thank you for helping us continue Coloring Our School with Kindness!
Together, we’ll keep Coloring Our School with Kindness!
#KindnessColorsOurSchool🎨 #BeKind💛 #BeBrave💪 #BeYou😊
With gratitude,
Roshaunda Henson
