Holmes was able to have 11 different virtual authors meet with classrooms all day on World Read Aloud day to listen to their stories, and what inspired them to become authors. Students were able to ask questions and talk with the authors in each of the virtual sessions. We were so lucky to kick off the day with the illustrator of the March Madness winner from last year all the way from Switzerland who joined all the Holmes classes at once to read to us, and do a directed drawing together! #d60learns

Maercker D60 is proud to serve a diverse community of learners and strives to have our staff reflect our students. Learning Behavior Specialist Noora Hazou says that was one of things that attracted her to the district. "I chose to join the Maercker 60 team for several reasons,” said Hazou. “First, I appreciated the diversity in the students and staff within the district. Through a diverse staff, it shows that the district appreciates and protects student, staff, and family culture, abilities, religion and customs. I could see that administrators and staff are here to support staff members, students, and families." Learn more about our open positions for the 24-25 school year! https://www.maercker.org/domain/15
