Unit 4 Shines at CUSchoolsFoundation Kick-Off Breakfast

Champaign Unit 4 Schools was well represented at this week’s CU Schools Foundation Kick-Off Breakfast, where educators and students shared how community partnerships and innovative teaching are making a difference for students.

Centennial Choir Members under the direction of Stefanie Eustice opened the event with a beautiful song.

Daneye Carter and Danielle Mallett of Stratton Academy of the Arts highlighted the impact of their First Grade Exchange grant, which gives young learners the opportunity to build important financial literacy skills.

Katie Flugge and Central High School student Jaydon Sibley shared how the Webber & Thies Adopt a School program connects Central social studies classes with professionals in the legal field. Jaydon spoke about how the experience strengthened his interest in the law and further inspired his dream of one day becoming a judge.

The breakfast also celebrated Kayla Leitschuh, librarian at Franklin STEAM Academy, as the recipient of the Mann-Hankel Teaching Excellence Award. Kayla shared how her work in the school library uses literacy to create a place where every student can see themselves, their experiences and their possibilities reflected in the books they read.

We are proud of these Unit 4 educators and students for representing our District and grateful to the CU Schools Foundation and its community partners for investing in experiences that expand learning and opportunity for our students.

Stratton Families!
As we prepare for BACK TO SCHOOL and you are getting your student prepared, please note that school water bottles need to be able to close. Please do not send a cup with a straw. This prevents messy classroom spills.
THANK YOU!
