Gail Wright has been with ROE 47 for many years, serving in many capacities. She is currently the Pathway Data and Video Project Coordinator, Workplace Wednesday Coordinator, College & Career Readiness Coordinator, Induction and Mentoring and New Teacher Coordinator. Gail’s favorite thing about working for ROE 47 is the people she works with and the fact that she is constantly learning and growing.

The Pathway program is excited to kick off another year with our area partnering schools.
This week we are happy to feature Rock Falls High School.
Rock Falls High School has implemented Pathways in Education and Manufacturing. This year Xello, an online program that engages students in a career exploration journey, will be used in many of the classrooms to encourage career exploration and to identify students for these programs. In the Education program, 6 students are participating in a 60 hours experience at the middle school and elementary schools in the area. During this time they will be working with students and experiencing the teaching profession. The Manufacturing Pathway are onboarding students to earn the endorsement.

Friday School Celebration
In November of 2019, Ava Krall and Reegan Welte attended the Special Olympics Unified Champion Schools Youth Activation Summit in Kankakee. They enjoyed it so much that they decided they wanted to be more involved. Last spring, they submitted an application to the Special Olympics of Illinois Youth Activation committee and were selected as an elite group of students, athletes and advisors. The Byron School district is identified as a Unified Champion School. The Unified Champion Schools (UCS) model is a whole-school intervention that aims to promote social inclusion of students with intellectual disabilities in their schools (by fostering interpersonal relationships and school participation) through inclusive activities that occur within the normative contexts of the school. UCS include unified sports, inclusive youth leadership, and whole-school awareness and engagement.
In the spring of 2020, we put together our first unified bocce team made up of high school and middle school students. Due to the pandemic our season was cut short and we were unable to compete. Not being able to participate in any of the Special Olympics sports left our athletes and unified partners disappointed. So, to keep students involved, Ava and Reegan decided to form the “Kindness Club” to include the ACHIEVE high school students. Some of their projects were kindness messages written on paper lunch bags served to the high school students, a disability awareness campaign with dress up days and posters displayed around the school, and a staff appreciation display board themed, “We Simply Cannot Mask our Gratitude for you” where students had the opportunity to thank a staff member. P
August 27-29 Ava, Reegan and their advisor Mrs. Hoover attended a virtual Youth Activation Committee Bootcamp training. The training gave them the opportunity to meet new friends, plan RESPECT week, put together a presentation for the upcoming 2021 Virtual Summit, and just have some fun.
They look forward to expanding their kindness club throughout the district, offering unified sports, and spreading awareness to not only our staff and students, but the community as well.
