District 202 Superintendent of Schools Dr. Glenn Wood visited Creekside Elementary School on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, to talk to the Student Council Club about leadership and what he does as the Superintendent. “The students really enjoyed listening to Dr. Wood and asked so many great questions,” Creekside Elementary School third grade teacher Piper Garcia said.

“My grandmother’s hands look brave.”
“My grandmother’s hands look adorable.”
“My grandmother’s hands can cook a good hamburger.”
“My tata’s hands can fly like magic.”
These are just a few examples of how kindergarten through second-grade students at Creekside Elementary School students view the hands of their grandmother or grandmother figure.
Students are taking a hands-on approach to learning about the beauty of generational and cultural connections.
They recently read “The Stories from My Grandmother’s Hands” by Dr. Resmaa Menakem and T. Mychael Rambo in class.
The students then wrote about their grandmother or grandmother figure and included pictures of their grandmother’s hands.
Their student artwork is now featured on the book’s website and can be found at https://thestoriesfrommygrandmothershands.com/love-stories/.
Well done!
Flags will be at half-staff today at all District 202 buildings in honor of Patriot Day. #neverforget911
