This week, we celebrate Administrative Professionals Week — and in District 202, we have so much to celebrate.
Our administrative professionals are the backbone of this district. They are the first voices families hear when they call, the steady hands that keep our schools running, and the quiet problem-solvers who make everything work behind the scenes. Their dedication, professionalism, and care for our students and staff do not go unnoticed. You are valued, you are appreciated, and this community is better because of you. Thank you for everything you do — every single day.

This week, we celebrate school libraries during National Library Week. Our media centers are staffed with Media Center Specialists and clerks who not only work with books but also help students in many different ways. These centers are beacons of technology that allow students to explore ways to learn beyond the pages of books. And thanks to our library staff members, whom we celebrated on April 21, National Library Workers Day. We appreciate all you do.

District 202 employee and illustrator Nader Batayeh created a poster to celebrate Black History Month in February.

Batayeh is a permanent building substitute at Freedom Elementary School. He was asked by staff there to create a poster for Black History Month.

“I decided on a design, but instead of just coloring it in, I decided it can be a learning tool,” Batayeh said.

Batayeh began researching the names of African American leaders in different fields. He added those names and the roles they played in making America a better place, he said.

“I began adding names but realized I didn’t know many besides the ones taught in elementary school, like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks,” Batayeh said.

We are #202proud of Nader Batayeh for sharing his artwork with District 202.
