District discusses digital learning pilot program

This summer, Glenbrook High School District 225 will conduct a digital learning pilot program to explore the educational experience when students utilize electronic devices and textbooks in the classroom. At the Board meeting on June 11, Instructional Technology Director Ryan Bretag provided an overview of the program.

“We recently challenged our staff to read a digital textbook and found that a majority of them felt an active reading experience was good to exceptional,” said Bretag. “As we shift to a bring your own device learning environment it is important that we monitor how this will work for students and teachers in the classroom.”

The district maintains a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy where students are allowed to use any type of electronic device to enhance their learning. This ranges from laptops, to tablets, to certain functions on a smart phone.

“Feedback has shown that our students don’t want to be told what type of device to bring, said Bretag. “They want to use the device they function best with.”

Three summer school classes will pilot the concept of diverse devices in the classroom — two U.S. History courses and one English course. Students will be able to bring their own device and receive free access to a digital textbook for the duration of the course. Students who do not have a device can elect to utilize one from the district at no cost. There is no device requirement, so students can choose to purchase and utilize a traditional book.

“Our district continues to focus on web-based applications to enhance learning, so the specific device becomes less important,” said Superintendent Dr. Mike Riggle.

Lew Blond Memorial success 

Over 850 people participated in the 12th annual Lew Blond Memorial 5K Run/Walk, 1 Mile Run, which was held on June 2 at Maple School, Northbrook. The Overall 5K Male Winner was Daniel Cheung, Northbrook. He was also the first place winner last year. The Overall 5K Female Winner was Carol Sullivan, Glenview. This popular fundraising event was first organized 12 years ago to memorialize Lew Blond, beloved Maple School teacher who passed away from ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) in 2000.  Lew Blond’s daughter Julianne, his mother Marietta Blond, sister Barbara Blond all attended this year’s race, as they have done since its inception.

Funds are raised through sponsorships, entry fees and donations which are used to support research through the Les Turner (ALS) Foundation, provide scholarships for graduating seniors at Glenbrook North and Glenbrook South High Schools, and allows special projects to be implemented at Maple, Wescott and Willowbrook Schools.  This year’s scholarship winners were Glenbrook North High School’s Eleni Artemas and Glenbrook South High School’s Marc Ja’come. Over $90,000 of the funds raised from the Lew Blond Run have been donated to the Les Turner (ALS) Foundation since 2001, with a portion directed to the Stu Rosen Transportation Fund, which was established to assist patients afflicted with ALS to get to and from their medical appointments.

Guest of honor, Aimee Chamernik, husband James, and children Nick, Emily and Zack returned to this year’s event. Aimee Chamernik is an ALS patient who has written extensively about the disease and how it has impacted her life at her website, http://www.askabout aimee.com.

Nick Chamernik was a first place winner in the 1 Mile Run; and Emily and Zack also participated and placed well in the race.

More than 5,000 Americans each year are diagnosed with ALS each year. Currently, there is no known cause, prevention or cure for ALS.  For more information about the Les Turner ALS Foundation, call Family and Community Special Event Associate Lacey Wood (847) 679-3311 or visit  http://www.lesturnerals.org. 

The Lew Blond Executive Committee is appreciative of the support of generous sponsors, and faculty and friends who volunteered their time and/or made donations to support this very worthy cause.

PTOs and Marcello’s partner to raise funds

The first “Get Ready with Spaghetti” fundraiser was held at Maple School June 1 to help prepare participants for the 12th Annual Lew Blond Memorial 5K Run/Walk, which was held on June 2 at Maple. For $5 a plate, attendees had a spaghetti dinner, garlic bread and salad, organized and served by the District 30 PTOs.

“We raised over $500 and enjoyed wonderful donated food from Marcello’s in Northbrook. They offered both regular and gluten-free pasta, and the leftover food was donated to the Northfield Township Food Pantry as well as the Glenview Fire Station,” said Maple’s PTO President Meena Wadhwa Klein.  

She added that the volunteers were wonderful and people had a great time visiting with each other and talking to vendors that were present.  Vendors included Runner’s Edge, Timex, Asics and Chiro One, whose representatives explained the benefits of fitness to those who visited their booths.

Maple students have a ball

On June 6, Maple School sixth and seventh grade students had the chance to participate in the annual Field Day celebration. Everyone played with giant medicine balls, competed in tug-of-war and water balloon toss, and took part in relay races and athletic activities.
