Olson Outlook
21-22 School Year Final Edition
In Closing
To our 5th grade families who are moving on to middle school, we wish you the best of luck and can't wait to hear about your child's successes at Creekside or Northwood. We know the kids are excited for their new experiences in 6th grade, but please remind them, once a Mustang, always a Mustang!
10 Things the Brain Needs Summer Challenge
Each Olson student either already received or will receive tomorrow a "10 Things the Brain Needs Summer Challenge." Students should follow the directions, complete activities in each of the 10 areas, and return it to school in August to be entered into a raffle for cool prizes! Let's keep our brains sharp this summer!
Speaking of keeping our brains sharp, check out the Summer Reading Program at the Woodstock Public Library. For information on their promotional kick-off event, see this link. Here is a link to the promo video. https://youtu.be/l6nKKgmmHWU
Congratulations and Best Wishes
We would like to bid a fond farewell to the following staff members who are leaving Olson. Some will be working in other District 200 buildings, some in other districts, and some at other places in new positions all together, but they have each made Olson a very special place. Thank you and best wishes to:
*Ms. Carlson, Literacy Interventionist
*Ms. Jurca, School Social Worker
*Ms. Staples (Ms. Nicole), Target Social Worker
*Ms. Alejandra, Bilingual 1:1 Associate
*Mrs. Cervantes, Bilingual Associate
*Mrs. Stierling, Bilingual Special Education sub
*Teacher Residents Ms. Diaz and Ms. Cruz
*Intern Ms. Maddy
Congratulations to the 2022 Olson Retirees:
*Mr. Fuller: Mr. Fuller has taught PE in District 200 for 24 years and coached for 30 years. His favorite memories are THE KIDS, the old skating unit, and working with his music teacher partner Mrs. Sharp at Dean Street to produce a play. In Retirement, Mr. Fuller is looking forward to continue his coaching role and taking a cruise.
*Ms. Hilger: Ms. Hilger is Olson's LRC associate. Ms. Hilger has been with the district for 23 years. Her favorite memories of working in District 200 all involve…no surprise here…reading to kids! Some things that Ms. Hilger is looking forward to in Retirement are making lots of art, finishing all her home projects, and sleeping in.
*Mrs. Olesen: Mrs. Olesen is an RTI associate and she has been with District 200 for 20 years. Her favorite moments of working with kids are those moments when it just “clicks” and kids understand something they’ve been hard working at and they are so proud of themselves. In retirement, she is looking forward to not having to set an alarm clock and doing more traveling to the many beautiful places she would like to see.
Congratulations and enjoy your well-deserved Retirements!
