I am thankful for our military, the dedicated men and women who have served in the past and those who are currently putting this nation ahead of themselves.
I have many friends and family I could name here if given the space, but will honor here the two veterans closest to me, whom I miss dearly, my grandfather and my father-in-law; and my niece and nephew who both enlisted in February 2008.
My Nonno, Lloyd Henry Hayton, proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1938 until 1945 and in the Army National Guard through 1952. He spent a couple of years in Saipan and had many stories to tell about that, and he also spent time stationed in Hawaii and several U.S. locations. He was most proud of having achieved the rank of Chief Warrant Officer.
Gabe Tatar, my father-in-law, enlisted in the Army Air Force in August of 1942. He trained in Blytheville, Arkansas and spent almost two years in England before his discharge in early 1946. Though he was fortunate not to have been involved in any battles, his older brother Louis was killed in France in August of 1944. My son now has his Grandpa’s medal case hanging in our house.
My niece Alyssa Tatar, a 2008 West High graduate, enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps as soon as she turned 18. She joined because she wanted to keep from going down the wrong path and she liked the discipline offered by the military. She is a Lance Corporal in Camp Pendleton, California and works as an administrative clerk. She is undecided about whether she will make a career of the military but knows that she is learning good skills that will help her have a better future.
Alyssa and the other Marines she resides with have very positive things to say about how being in the Marines helps young adults financially and gives them the experience and discipline to better themselves. Semper Fidelis!
My nephew Devin Hard, a 2009 West High graduate, enlisted in the Army National Guard when he turned 17. He joined for many reasons including love of country, giving back to the country, and being a part of something greater than himself. While growing up he admired other veterans in his family who had served in WWII and Vietnam and enjoyed hearing their stories. He wanted to follow in Nonno’s footsteps.
Devin is a Private First Class in the Infantry with Bravo Company 1st Battalion of the 178th Infantry Regiment, 33rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team. He completed his basic training and Advanced Infantry Training in Fort Benning, Georgia, in the summers before and after his senior year.
When Devin joined the Army he wasn’t sure whether he wanted to go to college after high school or become active duty, so the National Guard was a good place to start. He now plans to switch to active duty to pursue some of his many goals including attending Airborne School, Air Assault School, Army Mountaineering, Army Ranger School, and earning the Expert Infantryman Badge.
On this Thanksgiving weekend, please take a moment to remember those in the military and their families.

2009-11-20 Indian Prairie parent groups
Indian Prairie parent groups each have own specific focus
November 20, 2009
There are numerous opportunities for parents to get involved in Indian Prairie's districtwide and school-based parent organizations.
I've previously mentioned the district's 34 PTA/PTSAs, all of which are school-based except for the Special Needs and Project Arrow district-wide PTAs. The Indian Prairie Parents Council is the umbrella organization for these 34 units. The delegate body of the IPPC consists of the president and one representative from each unit. The council exists to help the member PTA units function effectively.
This is my third year as the IPPC representative for Brooks Elementary School, and this year I've taken on an additional role as a member of the executive board. The council meets monthly to share information about issues affecting the education, health and welfare of the district's students. The superintendent and other district administrators answer questions and present information to the council to be brought back to the individual PTAs.
Each PTA serves on an IPPC committee every other year. This year, Brooks is working with Neuqua Valley High School on the Unity Committee. We are currently working on ideas for how to make our very divided district feel more unified.
The Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee (BPAC) and Parent Diversity Committee (PDAC) are not directly associated with the PTAs but try to have liaisons back to each PTA when possible to facilitate information sharing.
The role and responsibility of BPAC is to plan, operate and evaluate the Transitional Bilingual Education program. This committee also advises and assists the district in its implementation. BPAC is comprised of parents of children in the Bilingual Education Program and other interested community members.
PDAC published the parent teacher conference guide I referenced earlier this month. This organization's mission is "to positively impact the academic achievement of a diverse student population through school-specific outreach efforts and initiatives that focus on and directly address disparate academic performance."
In addition to their PTA/PTSAs, the high schools also have several very active parent organizations. These parent groups support high school athletics, band, orchestra, chorus and theater in an incredible number and wide variety of ways.
To find out more about how to get involved with these district parent organizations, check with your school or PTA or look for them via www.ipsd.org.

2009-11-20 Jenna's Pay it Forward Blood/Bone Marrow Drive
When I heard recently that one of my high school daughter’s grade school classmates had been diagnosed with leukemia, my heart went out to this girl and her family. Senior year of high school is about so many good things – enjoying time with friends, having the last season of everything, making plans for the future, college applications, prom, special senior events – and fighting cancer should not be one of them.
I wondered if there was anything I could do to help this family and offered them the use of my column space to get the word out about anything they may want to publicize. It turns out that my offer was unexpected, timely and appreciated, as they had just been given the news that Jenna would need a bone marrow transplant. They were rushing to put together a bone marrow registry and blood drive and would want to get the details out to the public quickly.
Here is Jenna's story and the details about the drive being held next Wednesday.
Jenna’s “Pay it Forward”
Blood/Bone Marrow Drive
November 25, 2009
Benet Academy in Lisle
St. Jude Commons
from 3:00p.m. until 8:00p.m.
Jenna McKeown is a high school senior at Benet Academy where she plays Tennis and Lacrosse. She is an avid ice skater, and traveled last summer to Spain singing with her choir in some of the oldest and most beautiful cathedrals in the world! Wednesday, October 28 started like any other day for Jenna with current concerns limited to homework, college applications, and weekend activities. By Thursday evening Jenna began her first round of chemotherapy and her battle with leukemia had begun. What started out as a routine doctor’s visit for a sore throat and extreme fatigue led to a rapid chain of events that has turned her life upside down. Jenna was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, a very aggressive but curable form of leukemia.
Although the news was devastating, the groundswell of support that Jenna and her family have received from schoolmates, community and people across the country has given them strength to meet this head on. Jenna’s dad set the game plan when he said, “We can match this disease step for step until it surrenders.”
The first step of Jenna’s treatment is chemotherapy and she has successfully completed her first round at the University of Chicago’s Comer Children’s Hospital. Her indomitable spirit has become apparent to everyone as she has met the challenge of this diagnosis and the rigors of chemo with incredible strength. “Be Positive” is not only the tone that Jenna has set for everyone, it’s actually the blood type that literally runs through her veins (B+); a coincidence Jenna jumped on right away.
Her team of doctors is encouraged by the way that her body has reacted to the first round of chemo and her test results are very positive. However, Jenna recently learned that this is a battle that she cannot win on her own. After undergoing two more rounds of chemotherapy, she will require a bone marrow transplant from a matching donor in January. Tests have shown that Jenna’s siblings are not matches for her and she will depend on the National Bone Marrow Registry to find a donor.
Jenna’s family and friends are mobilizing an effort to add as many members as possible to the Be the Match National Bone Marrow Registry. This is not only to find a match for Jenna, but also to give hope to the thousands of others who are currently searching for a match. Jenna has been receiving blood platelet donations from Chicago blood banks and likely will continue to access their resources. Therefore her family and friends are also mobilizing an effort to replenish the local blood banks as well. In this combined Blood/Bone Marrow Drive, Jenna, her family and friends hope to be able to “pay forward” in some fashion the incredible support that they have already received in this journey.
This is how you can help:
On Wednesday, November 25th, 2009 Jenna’s family and friends will be hosting a combination Blood Drive & Bone Marrow Registry Drive at Benet Academy in Lisle, IL in the St. Jude Commons from 3:00p.m. until 8:00p.m. Everyone is welcome to donate blood without an advanced appointment, however appointments for blood donation scheduled beforehand will take priority! To schedule your appointment see instructions below.
https://donateblood.lifesource.org/itxm/mobile_scheduler/register.php?id=002.
Enter your information and continue on to make appt. Next you will click on zip code at the top and type in 60532. At the bottom of the page click on Jenna’s “Pay it Forward” Marrow and Blood Replenishment Drive. Click on the time you want and confirm .appointment! Thanks for your patience as this is a new system by Lifesource. Appointments can also be made by simply calling 877-Lifesource.
Take a moment to visit Jenna's Life Journey Link to find out more ways you can help! It costs over $100 to add each new member to the National Bone Marrow Registry and your donations will allow more members to be added to this life saving cause.
Please consider stopping by the event on the eve of Thanksgiving and join us in “Giving Thanks”. The entire McKeown family would like to extend their sincere gratitude and blessings to you and your families!
Blood donors must be age 17 or above (16 with parental consent forms - available in advance by contacting Beth at Lisauskas@sbcglobal.net)
Bone marrow registrants must be between the ages of 18-60 for bone marrow registry. The bone marrow registry takes only five minutes and is a simple inner cheek swab collection. It is important to note that if you are a match for someone, the process can be similar to giving blood. A direct match, if found, is the ultimate gift.
Any questions can be directed to Lifesource at phone: 1- 877-LIFESOURCE .
If you cannot attend but would like to make a financial donation please go to “Jenna’s Life Journey” link for further information.

2009-11-13 WVHS is Awesome
Waubonsie Valley High School has a lot to offer and much to be proud of, and here are a few of the reasons why.
Last year WV’s senior class of 896 included 165 Illinois State Scholars and 203 Indian Prairie Scholars. This year’s class of 932 includes 214 students who are Indian Prairie Scholars. Illinois State Scholars are considered the best and brightest of Illinois’s students, and Indian Prairie Scholars are those students in the district who have a 3.6 or higher grade point average after 6 semesters.
In the spring of 2009 there were 23 different Advanced Placement exams offered to WV students. 573 WV students took 1170 AP exams with 82% of them scoring 3 or higher. As for National Merit Scholars, during the past five years WV has had 95 commended students, 25 semi-finalists and 23 finalists.
The highest GPA in the class of 2008 was 4.7 and in 2009 was 4.65. Students who had a 3.9 or higher graduated in the top 10% of their class last year, students with a 3.51 or higher in the top quarter. A 3.0 or lower GPA placed a student in the bottom half of their graduating class.
The school offers its students 26 AP courses, 14 honors courses, and an astounding array of courses in many different subject areas. Students participate in intramurals and in 85 competition levels of 25 varsity sports. There are also more than 70 active sponsored clubs. Waubonsie’s students in sports and clubs bring home numerous awards each year.
Last year’s almost 3900 WV students included 1100 students in the freshman campus across the street. The opening of Metea Valley High School and the new school boundaries that came with it reduced this year’s WV enrollment to 3253, all housed in the main building except for 74 enrolled in the Frontier Campus.
WVHS and its students and teachers have won many awards and recognitions over the years including being named a Grammy Signature School for six consecutive years and being awarded Grammy Gold Signature School in 2007. WV has been awarded the National School Library Media Program of the Year and International Technology Association Program of the Year.
All students are required to take the ACT during their junior year of high school. Last spring’s average test score was 23, almost 1 point higher than the average four years earlier. Only about 10% of WV students take the SAT in any given year and their scores for this past year averaged 602 for reading, 598 for writing, and 645 for math.
Waubonsie’s school philosophy includes the following “Education is a process of life-long learning. Education works best when the entire community shares responsibility for and participates in the process. This dynamic process focuses on the student as an active participant, guided by parents and teachers. “
I am so glad that my two oldest got to spend their high school years in such an outstanding school.

2009-11-06 Parent Teacher Conferences
District 204 is in the midst of fall parent teacher conferences. Conferences were held Wednesday and are also scheduled for next Tuesday. Anyone who has not yet scheduled a conference but would like to have one should contact their school office.
The district’s Parent Diversity Advisory Council began as a means to facilitate inclusion and is currently focusing on student achievement. The PDAC has put together a document on parent teacher conferences which can be found at http://ipsdweb.ipsd.org/Subpage.aspx/PDAC.
This pamphlet lists some essential general questions and has five sections that each give a list of questions to ask the teacher and several tips for parents dealing with the different cases of a child doing well in school, struggling academically, struggling socially, not being challenged, or not getting along well with the teacher.
This is useful information to have in hand so parents can make the most of their conference time and know how best to advocate for their children. I wish I had seen such a publication when my children were younger and even now find this to be a valuable resource.
Two of the questions for everyone are “How do you accommodate differences in learning?” and “What can I do to support my child's academic progress?”
One of the tips for the parent of a child doing well in school is “Talk to your child each day about what is going on in school, and be sure to praise the effort she/he is putting into getting a good education.” A tip for the parent of a struggling student is “Teach your child study skills such as reading directions carefully, studying examples in textbooks, and writing down assignments.”
When meeting with the teacher, be sure to be non-confrontational about concerns, have specific examples in mind, and share some positive experiences as well.
In case your student has an issue at school, there is a “chain of command” chart that tells parents whom in their school to go to for help. It was published by the district this year and is available on the district's homepage www.ipsd.org near the bottom left in the “contact us” section. The chain varies slightly for elementary, middle, and high schools, but all start with the teacher. Any serious issues should be brought up and addressed in a timely manner rather than waiting for scheduled conference times.
The fall conference is the perfect time for parents and teachers to touch base and set the tone for the remainder of the school year.
