Connect 186!!
On Wednesday, September 6th, we were proud to host Secretary Miguel Cardona, the US Secretary of Education, Governor JB Pritzker and Dr. Tony Sanders, Illinois Superintendent of Education, on a visit to Fairview Elementary for the UU.S. Department of Education Raising The Bar Bus Tour! 
Superintendent Jennifer Gill & Fairview Principal Patricia Nikson guided our guests through the school to showcase both Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Illinois & Project SCOPE.
We're raising the bar for after-school programming and we’re thrilled to highlight its importance. Secretary Cardona & Governor Pritzker were very interactive with the students and staff during their visit and Secretary Cardona took some time to interview a few of our students for his social media.
District 186 is proud to spotlight the hard work & dedication by our educators & staff for our state and national officials.
Together, we can empower our students for a brighter future!
