| Congrats To Soon-To-Be Principal Feldman | |
| Superintendent's Department | |
Even in these stressful times, a ray of joy shines through! Congrats to Butterfield Assistant Principal Steve Feldman, who will be the new principal at B. J. Hooper Elementary School in Lindenhurst in July. Mr. Feldman has served as assistant principal of Butterfield School, the largest K-5 school in District 70, for three years. Before Butterfield School, Mr. Feldman spent two years as an assistant principal and physical education teacher at Copeland Manor School. “My family and I are extremely excited about the opportunity and I’m eager to get to work,” said Mr. Feldman, 39. “Thank you to Libertyville School District 70 as I have learned so much from the staff, students and parents. I will always hold a special place in my heart for all of you.” Known for his willingness to pitch in and help when there is a need, connecting and joking with students, as well as being the go-to summer school leader, Mr. Feldman will be missed throughout District 70. “It is with mixed emotions that I, on behalf of Butterfield’s community, offer Mr. Feldman congratulations,” said Butterfield Principal Dr. Candice Kehoe. “The Hooper community will be lucky to learn and grow under Mr. Feldman’s leadership, but deep down, he will always be a Bulldog.” So happy for you, Mr. Feldman, but sorry to see you go!
