Superintendent Hannigan is a busy guy. So busy, in fact, that he somehow booked a visit with the State Superintendent on the same day he was supposed to film a video. 😂

But no matter how packed the calendar gets, he’s never too busy for .

Our Elementary South first graders recently wrapped up their Civics Unit by putting citizenship into action through Kids Helping Kids Project Linus! Each student designed and decorated a quilt square that will be incorporated into handmade blankets for children in need. We love seeing our students use their creativity to give back and make a difference beyond the classroom.

📸 A special thank you to the ES First Grade Team for sharing this meaningful project with us!

This morning, Hawthorn welcomed Illinois State Superintendent Dr. Tony Sanders for a visit focused on the people, programs and practices that make Hawthorn special. Dr. Sanders was joined by ISBE staff Cynthia Lund, Matt Seaton and Hector Rodriguez, along with Senator Adriane Johnson, Senator Mary Edly-Allen, Erin Heard from Senator Mary Edly-Allen’s office, Fabbi Vazquez from State Representative Daniel Didech’s office, Lake County Regional Superintendent Dr. Michael Karner and Hawthorn Board Vice President George Fievet.

The group met with district leadership before visiting Hawthorn School of Dual Language and Townline Elementary, where they stepped into classrooms, observed PODS and PLC collaboration, and learned more about our multilingual programming and services for students who are deaf or hard of hearing. We’re proud to share the work happening across Hawthorn and grateful for the opportunity to highlight the students and staff who bring Learning for All. Every One. Every Day. to life.

Thanks to the Lake County Regional Office of Education Foundation for stopping by HSYL to capture a very special mystery reader moment with Dr. Hannigan! 📚💙 Their visit also helped spotlight the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, which provides free books each month to Lake County children from birth to age 5. We’re proud to help spread the word about an initiative that puts more books in the hands of our young learners!
