Spring is coming and that means flowers will be in bloom. Now is the time to nominate educators for the 2023 Marigold Award. Each nominee will be recognized on social media and will receive a certificate, a marigold, and a special book. Our overall winner will also receive a $100 Amazon gift card to continue to build their classroom library. Jen Banks was a beloved teacher and school improvement coach who passed away as the result of a tragic automobile accident in December 2015. Her love for learning and the students that she worked with was an inspiration to many. Jen’s positive, supportive, and energetic attitude nurtured those around her and helped them to grow. In celebration of Jen’s life and dedication to learning, ROE 47 has created an award in her honor. As Jen worked with many elementary and middle schools in the Sauk Valley area, this award is open to PK-8 Whiteside County teachers, para-educators & administrators. Marigolds exist in our schools - encouraging, supporting and nurturing teachers. They are leaders in their community, classrooms, and families. They have a love of learning and sharing that learning with others. Help us to honor Jen and these exemplary leaders in your school communities. An informational flier and copy of the nomination questions are attached. Please nominate your “marigold” today using the link below by April 14, 2023.

Spring Break
Friday School Celebration Submitted by Jeffrey House, Principal, Fulton Elementary School 5A AND 5C COMPLETE JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT COURSES Dr. Hogue graciously volunteered to be our Junior Achievement volunteer for this school year. JA Our Nation introduces students to work readiness ideas. Through hands-on classroom activities, the learning experience provides students with practical information about the nation's free market system and how it serves as an economic engine for businesses and careers. It also introduces the need for entrepreneurial and innovative thinking to meet the requirements of high-growth, high-demand careers and the concept of globalization in business. On the last day of class, with the help of our amazing parents, we were able sample foods from other cultures around the world- it was a great experience. Thank you to Dr. Hogue and all the parents that donated food and drinks to our feast. *5B students are currently completing the courses with their JA Volunteer Mrs. Cari Bush.
