Board salutes staff and thanks St. Charles East for hosting Leman Middle School graduation
Summary
The West Chicago ESD 33 Board used its recognition segment to honor staff at Wegner Elementary and to thank St. Charles East High School for providing a venue after local traffic and parking disruptions affected graduation plans. Several written salutations were read into the record.
During the Board Salutes segment, the Board read multiple submissions praising staff contributions across District 33. Notably, Jeniffer Ramos (parent) submitted a salute for Perla Benitez at Wegner Elementary that was entered into the record: "Mrs. Benitez has demonstrated time and time again that she is for her school, for her team, and for her students. Her dedication and care for everything she does for our school is so great to see..." The minutes include additional salutes to staff members who support student learning and family engagement.
The Board also formally thanked St. Charles East High School for stepping in to host the Leman Middle School 8th grade graduation when arrival of a Union Pacific Big Boy train created significant traffic and parking challenges in West Chicago. The minutes list district and St. Charles staff who supported the alternate venue and cited the partnership as an example of collaboration among neighboring districts.
