Today is Read Across America Day and every student in Ms. Mary Florence Goding’s first grade class spent 20 minutes reading a book. That time could be worth a lot of money.
The Willow Brook Read-A-Thon is an engaging and educational fundraiser organized by the school’s PTO. Students are raising money by challenging themselves to read as much as possible.
Jenny Reid, a fifth grade teacher at Willow Brook Elementary, received the 2021 Thesis Award of Excellence in the College of Education at Eastern Illinois University. Reid graduated from the Curriculum and Instruction graduate program in the summer of 2020 and this award is a recognition of the highest achievement in graduate research from each of the four academic colleges at EIU based on a master’s thesis project between July 1, 2018, and June 30, 2020. She will be honored at the Distinguished Graduate Awards Ceremony in April and featured in the "Graduate Journal of Scholarship." Reid’s thesis was titled "Growth Mindset: A Key to Motivating Students in Reading" and is available to view online.
