Woodlawn Middle School in Long Grove Illinois recently was awarded the Blue Ribbon award for academic excellence. Only 35 Middle Schools in the United States received the award this year, so it is a unbelievable accomplishment.
Yesterday, the Woodlawn teachers, staff, and students were presented the Blue Ribbon award by Julie Ewart, the Senior Public Affairs Specialisst from the United States Department of Education. The celebration was amazing from start to finish. Max Quinlan, one of Woodlawn's first graduates beautifully sang the Star Spangled Banner, the Woodlawn Orchestra as well as the Pom squad performed the Woodlawn Song and the chorus sang Everyone Rejoice.
Presidents from Long Grove, Buffalo Grove and Kildeer all attended to give their congratulations for a job well done. Additionally, Thomas Many District 96 Superintendent as well as Mark Tepper, the president of the Board of Education spoke as to how great this accomplisment was. Greg Grana, the Principal of Woodlawn thanked everyone for helping the school get to this place. He is pictured below accepting the award!
