Spoon River Valley CUSD #4

🎶✨ The results are in for our Treblesome drawing contest! ✨🎶 🏆 Teacher Favorite: Huxley Thurman 🏆 Community Favorite: Emileigh Laird Big thanks to Mrs. Rahn for leading the fun and to everyone who voted! 👏🎨🎼

✨ Our favorite social studies teacher, Mrs. Jennifer Burdette, was celebrated today at the Illinois Democracy Schools Convening at NIU! She joined other past recipients of the Carolyn Pereira Leadership Award, which honors educators who go above and beyond in preparing young people for civic life. Mrs. Burdette received this recognition in 2024, and it’s inspiring to see her alongside such dedicated leaders. Being an Illinois Democracy School means we’re committed to empowering students with the skills, knowledge, and voice to be active participants in their communities and our democracy.

✨ In Mrs. Weese’s English class, students are diving into Anthem by Ayn Rand! 📖🔥 This classic dystopian novel has sparked some deep, thought-provoking conversations and the students are bringing great energy and insight to the discussions.
