Spotlight on Staff!
Bebe Steele, Secretary
I have lived in Downers Grove for 35 years and my husband Jac and I have 2 boys. Sean is a Sophomore in college and Jake is a Junior at DG South HS. We currently have 2 dogs and love to travel. This summer we visited New Mexico and did a lot of hiking visiting state parks and state monuments. Favorite trips were Gettysburg and Mount Rushmore.
Angela (Angie) Cushing, Secretary
Hi! My name is Angie Cushing. I am excited to be starting my 3rd year at Lester. I live in Downers Grove with my husband,3 kids and dog. My oldest is starting his freshman year in college, and my daughters will be a senior and freshman at Downers Grove South. I had a busy summer traveling with my kids' sports teams. I enjoy spending time with family, walking my dog and reading. I am looking forward to seeing our returning families and meeting all of the new families at Lester.
