Advocate Condell Opens Gallery with D70 Artwork
Libertyville School District 70 artists, from left to right, Elle Imm, Amelia Bertaud, Jack Nicholson, Natalie Smith and Rebecca Garcia-Stam, stand before their artwork now on display in Advocate Condell Medical Center's first art gallery. The gallery is dedicated to artwork from Libertyville School District 70 students and marks the first joint venture between the two Libertyville-based groups. Artwork will be changed every three months and feature work from students at all five schools. District 70 artists and their families, as well as board of education members, art teachers and administration from the school district and the hospital were on hand for an art gallery opening Wednesday.
School Telephones Still Out, Please Send Emails
The telephones at Adler Park School are still out and may not return until Saturday due to a cut cable, according to AT&T. At this time, all phone calls are being directed to the District 70 office. We will try to help you as much as possible from there. The best way to reach Adler Park School this week is to send emails to Principal Jon Bogie at jbogie@d70schools.org, secretary Kim Beadle at kbeadle@d70schools.org or nurse Kim Hutchinson at khutchinson@d70schools.org. Thank you for your understanding and patience on this matter.

Teacher Appreciation
In honor of teacher appreciation week, the administration at Highland Middle School made lunch for the staff on Friday. The national day of Teacher Appreciation was May 8. Schools throughout the district celebrated in a variety of ways, including parent cooked lunches and student created cards.
Meeting a Cove Alliance Member Face to Face
Richard Mugisha, an administrative assistant with the Cove Alliance and a resident of Uganda, met with Highland Middle School students Friday. Highland is working to raise $10,000 for the Cove to buy a piggery in Uganda. Mugisha began his visit in the morning by talking with students in the Highland Student Council and National Junior Honors Society, and then toured the school. Mugisha started working for Cove in 2009 and has supervised the building of classroom blocks, dorm living, school kitchens and staff housing. This was Mugisha's first trip outside of Africa, said Highland science teacher Tara Oshinski.
Copeland Manor Holds Seventh Exploration Day
Copeland Manor Principal Erik Youngman met his match Friday when a student went toe-to-toe with him on eating a mealworm during the school's seventh Exploration Day where parents present careers and hobbies for the students to check out. One of the classes included students tasting candy infused bugs. Principal Youngman and students agreed the crickets in chocolate tasted like chocolate covered wafer cookies. They also agreed that after the mealworms, water was a good chaser.
Happy Mother's Day
Butterfield fifth-graders held a surprise Mother's Day Tea on Friday, celebrating the holiday a little early with hats the students made from wrapping paper, liquid starch, silk flowers, ribbons, stickers, and a variety of other materials. Hand painted clay pots adorned with student-made flower pens are used as centerpieces at the tea. The students also created a digital movie with messages of thanks and gratitude, and wrote poetry to their moms. In addition to making projects, the students have been practicing to be 'hosts' for the Tea. "This day truly is one of the most special and memorable for the fifth grade classes," said teacher Amy Nemmers. "It is a great opportunity for boys and girls to curl up on their moms' laps, and give them a chance to have their special day. After this school year, our students travel to Highland Middle School and grow up so quickly and become so independent. This is a nice reminder for moms and families alike, that they are appreciated and loved, even as children grow older."

Rotary Reads to Butterfield Students
Tucker Olson, a member of the Rotary Club in Libertyville, takes time to read aloud to Butterfield students on May 10. Olson, along with his daughter, Keri Berlowski, and four Libertyville High School students, read to students for a "Rotary Reads" event. District 70 Board of Education President said, " We are so proud of our strong connections with our community organizations. The Rotary Reads is a wonderful program that helps reinforce a love of reading for our students. It really is true when we say, 'it takes a village'!"
D70 Honors FAD President Maria Rill
District 70 Supt. Dr. Guy Schumacher takes a moment Thursday morning to honor Maria Rill, who has served as president of the Family Associations of District 70 (FAD) for the last year. Dr. Schumacher presented Mrs. Rill with a plaque noting her distinguished service. During her term, Mrs. Rill united several restaurants with the district to offer special coupons at meal time that would raise money for all the schools.
