Inspra award

Remember the Dual Language Video we shared earlier this spring? We’re excited to announce that it has been honored with an award from INSPRA (Illinois Chapter of the National School Public Relations Association)!

Thank you to Gabriela Navarro Diaz and Dr. Elizabeth Sánchez Szepesi for their leadership and the countless hours they dedicated to this project. Thank you as well to Brooke Hagstrom, Elizabeth Benesch, Alejandra Balsamo, Elizabeth Gaiser, Rocio Garcia-Rangel, and Sherri Peck for helping bring this story to life. In the video, you will also see reflections from Dr. Machak, and a district parent with children currently in the Dual Language program!

Congratulations to our entire Dual Language learning community—students, families, teachers, support staff, and leadership. This recognition is a celebration of your hard work, passion, and commitment to this incredible program!
