GDW Students Recognized By The Illinois Principals Association

This week, Gary D. Wright Elementary School fifth grade students, Benjamin Bennick and Ainsley Bryson, were recognized at the Illinois Principals Association (IPA) Kishwaukee Region's 18th Annual Student Leadership Breakfast.  The IPA Student Leadership Breakfast recognizes tomorrow's leaders today.  Each year, principals are invited to recognize a female and male student from the exiting grade level in his/her school.  This year, we are proud to recognize Benjamin and Ainsley for their leadership within the Gary D. Wright Elementary School learning community.

The breakfast was held at the Crystal Lake Holiday Inn.  Benjamin and Ainsley joined students from Boone/Winnebago, DeKalb, Kane, and McHenry County Regional Office of Education Schools, who were all recognized as leaders within their school communities.  During the breakfast, Benjamin and Ainsley were presented with a certificate, a copy of a book on leadership, and a picture in honor of their recognition.

I would like to congratulate Benjamin and Ainsley on this outstanding accomplishment and also thank the GDW PTO for providing the funds for us to attend this special event.
