Meet Gracie Lapacek, a new kindergarten teacher at Goodrich Elementary School!

Gracie attended Illinois State University, and PE and math were her favorite subjects growing up. She’s looking forward to building strong relationships with her students and colleagues this year.

💚 Last Friday, Goodrich Elementary School welcomed back members of the Class of 1970 for a special reunion and tour of the building!

Classmates traveled from near and far—including Arizona and Wisconsin—to reconnect, share memories, and revisit their former school. Back then Goodrich students were known as the Panthers (before becoming the Gators!). Several alumni even broke into the old Panthers fight song while standing in the gym. 🎶

After their visit, the group continued the celebration with dinner at Nonnie's Pizza in Woodridge. Thank you for coming back to visit and sharing your memories with us!
