Hey Mr.

I was wondering if we could make the

t-shirts a reality? I would love your approval so I can go ahead and sell these t-shirts to benefit

I am aware of forecast and current conditions. In collaboration with City and County officials I am monitoring the weather. Check

website for weather info. Families will only be notified in the event there is an impact on school opening.
Racism and hatred have no place anywhere - especially in our schools. Today the

@GovPritzker
is absolutely right. Not only will you do amazing things - you will go on to change the world and make it a better place. No one cares for you more and no is more proud of you than I am.
#together203
Hear it from me, as your governor: thereβs room for you to feel all the things, big and small.
You will get through this, you will talk about this for the rest of your lives, and you will go on to do amazing things.
Iβm so proud of you.
Last night,

Hey

. My inboxes are full of hate mail & threats. Iβm unsettled, esp. after Juneβs racist attack at Yale. I had a whole article with fake facts attacking me. This work isnβt easy, but Iβll keep on.
I acknowledge my response to mask critics was not the best way I could have done it. I am sorry for that. I will do better. We all need to be better. There is a place for discourse, but name calling and personal attacks should not be a part it.
To my

In honor of your petition, I will respond using candy names. You make me Snicker. You must think I'm one of the Dum Dums or maybe one of the Nerds. Take 5 and think about this. I'd be giving you a day Now & Later given the winter forecast. Sorry, but I'm a Milk Dud.

If you need some humor in your day follow Superintendent Bridges

as he decides about closing school due to extreme cold. In the past some of the students responses have been amazingly awesome.

Being a teacher/coach comes with mixed emotions. For example, I am happy we are dodging this winter storm. In contrast, I am extremely sad I wonβt be able to witness another round of students trying to convince

After driving around the district, consulting with our buildings & grounds team & neighboring superintendents we plan to proceed with hybrid as planned. Please plan extra time for travel, take your time, and use caution.

More schools are adding equity programs as the country grapples with systemic racism. But after a Naperville school district seminar, participants got hate mail and threats, reflecting a national backlash against diversity efforts.
