MAY SCHOOL NEWS
Earlier this spring several students from Mrs. Zamastil’s, Mrs. Ponto’s and Mrs. Schweitzer’s class entered the Creative Communication spring poetry contest. Several students’ poems from all three classes were selected for publication in their anthology where “only the best poems selected to be included.” Less than 50% of the poems submitted are selected for publication.
The following statement was made by Mr. Thomas Worthen PhD, editor: The fact that you have numerous students accepted makes a strong statement about your school…the list of students that have been accepted to be published represents a lot of talent, hard work and dedication from your teachers and students. In judging thousands of poems, our judges have found that the single most important factor in creating a quality poem is the quality of the instruction. We have found that schools with excellent language arts programs have a much higher percentage of their students’ writing accepted…Your school stands out and will be recognized in the anthology as receiving a “Poetic Achievement Award.” This honor is given to the top 10% of the schools who entered the contest.
Congratulations to all the winners!!

BPAC NEWS
Bilingual parents from the district attended the 8th annual Bilingual Parent Summit on Saturday May 11th in Oak Brook. The conference is for parents of English Language Learners (ELLs) and is sponsored by the Illinois State Board of Education Division of English Language Learning. During the conference parents attend presentations on topics such as Bilingualism, Dual Literacy, Preparing for College and Learning Standards. It is a great opportunity for parents to learn about resources, new policies and a great place to network with other parents.
