Hill was recognized for her dedication to educating the whole child.
“Teaching is more than academics for me,” Hill said. “It’s about nurturing confidence, character, curiosity, and a love for learning in every student who walks into my classroom.”
Hill said she is grateful for the opportunity to do work that she loves and for the community that continues to support and encourage her.
“We are fortunate to see her leadership, dedication, and commitment to students each day at Freedom, and we are thrilled to celebrate this recognition with her,” Freedom Elementary School principal David Campbell said.
“This recognition is not just for me, but for every student who inspires me to show up and give my best each day.”
Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition.
We are #202proud to recognize and thank our 93 social workers for the incredible support they provide to our school community. As National School Social Work Week closes, we appreciate the vital role they play in our schools with our students, parents, and staff.
The event featured 24 tables representing 19 countries. From food and music to traditions and stories, the evening highlighted the diversity within the Freedom community.
Enjoy your holiday! See you Tuesday!
District 202 employee and illustrator Nader Batayeh created a poster to celebrate Black History Month in February.
Batayeh is a permanent building substitute at Freedom Elementary School. He was asked by staff there to create a poster for Black History Month.
“I decided on a design, but instead of just coloring it in, I decided it can be a learning tool,” Batayeh said.
Batayeh began researching the names of African American leaders in different fields. He added those names and the roles they played in making America a better place, he said.
“I began adding names but realized I didn’t know many besides the ones taught in elementary school, like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks,” Batayeh said.
We are #202proud of Nader Batayeh for sharing his artwork with District 202.
