D219 schools had an incredible week of Staff Appreciation activities and accolades, including the Niles West "golden" teaching duo, Elizabeth Dribin-Khoshaba and Dillin Randolph. The teachers were presented with the prestigious Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching, making history as the first ever co-teachers to win the award. The pair was surprised at a staff meeting where their families and friends joined students, alumni, administrators, and colleagues to celebrate! Congratulations to Dillin and Elizabeth, and thank you to our incredible D219 staff for always striving to create #ClearPathsBrightFuturesNoLimits for our students.
