"I really love science and want to bring the iconic Bill Nye to Catherine Cook School. This would give us an opportunity to share this legend with the students at Catherine Cook while recognizing me as a teacher. If people feel inclined to donate for a good cause "The Planetary Foundation and Teach for America" then they can donate and buy votes, but certainly not necessary." -Andrew Bean

Huge congrats to our April Athlete of the Month, Aldis '22! 🏐

Aldis has had an incredible run lately. After being invited to train with the USA Volleyball National Team this past winter, he’s gear up for national team tryouts later this summer.

While he's a college-bound Libero, Aldis has stepped up as Captain this senior season to lead the Ramblers as their starting Setter. The versatility is paying off—the team is 16-4 and ranked 3rd in the state of Illinois and top 50 nationally. He made Wheaten Warrenville South Tiger Classic All-Tournament team this month and Marist Invitational All-Tournament Team in March helping lead the team to a 3rd place finish at both tournaments.

Way to go, Aldis!

🍎📝🔬We need your help! Andrew Bean, 8th Grade Science Teacher and Middle School Dean, is a candidate for the teaching award competition America's Favorite Teacher! It would not only be a huge honor for Mr. Bean, but comes with the incredible opportunity of having Bill Nye the Science Guy come to Catherine Cook School for an assembly.
