4.A. The Spartacus Reading Challenge is an annual contest to read from a list of 25 books, all published in 2020, and considered, by Anderson’s Bookshop,  to be in contention for the Newbery Medal for Excellence in Childrens’ Literature. Students who read 10-19 Spartacus Books: 6th grade:  Corinne Conley, Austin Frederick, Maryam Imam, Rahma Imam, Akshaya Rajaputra, Yusra Shaikh and Kostandina Zhidro; 7th grade: Griffin Anderson, Emma Briggs and Rumaisa Shaikh; 8th grade:  Grace Bittlingmaier and Kaitlyn Urbanowitz; Top Spartacus Challenge Readers who read all 25 Spartacus Books:  7th graders - Claire Rogers and Kavya Uppal; 8th grader - Sarah Goodin (finished in just 5 weeks!) Congratulations to all of our Spartacus Readers who met the challenge! 

4.B. The Association of School Business Officials (ASBO) International has awarded CCSD89 its FY2020 Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting award for having met or exceeded the program's high standards for financial reporting and accountability. This is the district's 21st consecutive year of participation and to receive the award is a testament to the district's commitment to transparency and high-quality financial reporting. 

4.C. Congratulations to Glen Crest student Ian Dimler. Ian is a piano student in the Achievement in Music program, where students are tested each year on theory and performance. This year, 185 students qualified for the AIMS honors recital, but Ian was one of just 18 selected to be part of the honors recital. This past Friday, Ian played "Intrada" by Christoph Graupner, in the AIM virtual recital. Ian manages this musical mastery while also being an excellent student and travel baseball player. Congrats, Ian!

4.D. CCSD 89 would like to sincerely thank Board Member Beth Powers for her tireless support to the students, families and staff of the district. Beth has served as a volunteer for nearly 20 years.  For the last nine years, she has served on the school board with several years as Board president.  Beth's king heart, calm leadership and careful listening has been a model for all of us.  She leads with compassion and always focuses on what is best for our students, community and staff.  Beth will be missed as a Board member.  We wish her all the best in new adventures and hope she will stop by frequently for visits.
