Dr. Donna Leak came in as Superintendent of District 168
under a shadow of controversy but it seems that sunlight has been shining down
on Sauk Village schools and Leak.
Seeing Board President Sharon Davenport working alongside
Leak during the recent Back to School Bash this week spoke volumes! Davenport was cookin it up at the grill along
with a host of volunteers from the school district. As the lines stretched on and on, they kept
cooking! Leak was engaging parents and
children the entire time. Also good to see other board members Sene Garrett, Tammy Jones and Mary Howard there as well.
Leak has been working hard kicking off the school year along
with at least some of her board members.
Noticeably absent from the Back to School event were the two board
members who actually voted for Leak, Deloris Green and Jimo Kasali. In fact, where were you both? Being a school board or any elected official requires you to participate in the community besides attending board meetings.
Also this week, Dr. Leak honored some old school alumi from
the 1960s. Kerry Pardue came to Sauk
Village and spoke at his old Junior High School. No not Rickover, it wasn’t even there when he
graduated 8th grade in 1962, although he did speak to the kids at
Rickover too. Pardue donated 2 oil
paintings on behalf of the class of 1962 from Strassburg Junior High School.
Thus far I’m impressed with the actions of Dr. Donna Leak,
honoring our past and working hard toward engaging the children and the parents
of the future. Good job Dr. Leak and to Board
President Sharon Davenport who clearly are focused on the children of the
district. Keep up the good work!
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the hard work and contributions of so many behind the scenes who contributed to the success of the Back to School Bash including Jeremiah Johnson and the host of teachers and volunteers who came out to help. This was about our School District giving back to the community and it was a great success! Can't wait to see what they cook up next year! PS.... the RIBS were awesome!
