Summary

Nicholas Alazakis, director of communications for Waukegan CUSD 60, said in the district's '60 and 60' update for the week of Feb. 9 that 27 Waukegan High School students were named Illinois State Scholars, families are invited to a Black Parent Network meeting on Feb. 17, and the district will be closed on Feb. 16 for Presidents' Day.

Nicholas Alazakis, director of communications for Waukegan CUSD 60, outlined the district's weekly highlights in the "60 and 60" update for the week of Feb. 9, saying the bulletin would cover "celebrations, important reminders, and opportunities to get involved across the district." Alazakis announced that 27 Waukegan High School students earned the Illinois State Scholar distinction from the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, an award recognizing students who rank among the top 10% statewide by GPA and college-entrance performance.

Alazakis said the district recently held a "Valentines for Veterans" event that resulted in hundreds of cards for local veterans and thanked Waukegan High School GROTC cadets for organizing the effort. He encouraged families to attend the Black Parent Network meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 17 at 6 p.m., which will be held in person at Waukegan High School's Brookside Campus Library with a virtual option via Zoom; agenda items include updates from the African American Male Achievement Initiative and discussion of a new BPN scholarship.

The update also promoted nightly performances of the musical "Mamma Mia" at 7 p.m. in the Trap Auditorium at the Brookside Campus; "Tickets are available at both high school bookstores online or at the door," Alazakis said. He closed with a calendar reminder that District 60 will be closed Monday, Feb. 16 in observance of Presidents' Day and that classes will resume on Tuesday.

The district distributed the brief weekly bulletin as a routine communications update; no formal board actions, motions or votes were announced during the segment.
