"I didn't know about the award until we got in
the car to go to the ceremony for my dad and Jan.
I'm not very good at keeping secrets. When we saw
him, my dad said to Abby 'I thought you were at
volleyball practice.' I think we surprised him." ~Katelyn

Congratulations to Jan Loeb & Paul Higginbotham,
recipients of The Reaching Out & Building Bridges Award
on September 4th from the Wabash Valley Region of the Illinois Principal Association. Jan's gift of the Ed Loeb
football and track complex as well as annual
scholarships to Unit 20 professionals for classroom
projects are true measures of her
dedication to our children and community.

We'll be faithful caretakers of such gifts.

L.H.S. Principal Paul Higginbotham was also
honored with the 2013 Stan Struckmeyer Award.
The honor recognizes a school administrator who meets
adversity and challenge head on, while continuing
to make excellence and pupil learning opportunities
the focus of their professional responsibilities.
Management of such projects as the completion of
the Loeb Sports Complex and the new Lawrenceville High
School were completed by this principal, dad, and husband.

Team work, it's what makes things happen!

Snack Talk

You can learn a lot when listening to
preschool discussions at snack time.

"What is this? I am not sure."

"It looks like dog food. Is this dog food?"
"No.....we can't eat dog food."

"No, it's hay or straw."
"If it is hay, then what's the white stuff?"

"Snow."

You Know, the BIG One

"Have you been to the BIG school? You know which one, it's the Indian school and I can't wait to get there. It will be a while thought, because I'm only in first grade." ~Christeven
