Thank you to all individuals who contributed to the success of our Field Day event for our students. Our students greatly enjoyed the activities today.
Sue Hasenyager, who survived the 1990 F-5 tornado that tore through Plainfield, recently talked to Thomas Jefferson Elementary School third graders about her experience. She also brought artifacts from the time including a clock from Plainfield High School that stopped when the tornado hit it. Her talk coincided with the units on weather and local history.
The presentations delivered by our 4th-grade students at the Wax Museum were exemplary.
We are pleased to share the students who have been selected as recipients of the Athletic Character Award in the 5th grade. These students have demonstrated exceptional qualities of good character, such as trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, citizenship, caring, and fairness. Congratulations to our winners.!

“Tom Hernandez was a true champion for District 202 and was well known for his professionalism, positive attitude, and big heart. He was known as “The Voice” of 202 because he made the school cancellation phone calls and often served as emcee for district and other events. Hernandez’s legacy is one of compassion and community. He will be deeply missed.”
