Best of the Nest! Mrs. Kathy Cox

As you may recall, our amazing PTO sponsors our staff appreciation award, the “Best of the Nest” with a premium parking spot for the winner!

Staff members nominate each other based on:
Who has inspired you?
Who is making you a better staff member?
Who is making your day more enjoyable?
Who is doing great things for kids?
Who is consistently in your corner?
Who is implementing innovative strategies in the building?

This award continues to demonstrate the inspiring, kind, and giving staff we have here at CHMS. The incredible words that are written toward each other in response to the thoughtful actions taken are inspirational.

This month, Mrs. Kathy Cox (6th Grade Science) was our lucky winner! A few comments shared about her were:

• Kathy, thank you for spearheading the 6th grade field trip each spring. Also, great work this year with Eco club, getting kids excited about science, and helping our school achieve Green Ribbon status! I appreciate your contributions to our 6th grade team. :-)
• Kathy goes above and beyond not only to support her students but also her coworkers and our entire building. Thank you, Kathy, for planning such an amazing field trip for the 6th graders. & thank you for always being willing to answer my questions no matter how small. You are the best!!
• Kathy is such an amazing human! She not only is a true environmentalist but is a wonderful teacher and co-worker. Kathy you are very much appreciated and your hard work and positive attitude do not go unnoticed! Thank you for all that you do for our students, community, and mother earth.
• Kathy, you are amazing! Besides all the engaging activities you do with your students in science class you successfully juggle multiple other tasks, from leading the eco club to organizing the field trip and helping the school win the green ribbon. Your dedication and energy are truly inspiring!
• EARTHWORMS, COMPOST, FIELD TRIP, ECO CLUB= GREEN RIBBON!

Congratulations again to Mrs. Cox and all of our nominated staff members!

Parent List

When suddenly faced with your child’s emotional, developmental, learning or health problem, where did you turn to find treatment that worked?

As we wrap up the school year, please add to our list of health care reviews on The Parent List. It takes less than 5 minutes and is anonymous. Click HERE

The Parent List contains first-hand insights from district 86 and 181 parents about providers that helped address their child’s anxiety, depression, school avoidance, eating disorders, insomnia, peer relations, grief, stress, ADD/ADHD, autism spectrum, and more.

Doctors, therapists, support groups, in- and out-patient programs, nutritionists, books, and holistic medical approaches may all be reviewed on The Parent List.

To read the existing reviews of providers, go to hcpto.org/parent-list/

Questions can be emailed to: parentlist@hcpto.org

In no way do the Hinsdale Central High School or Clarendon Hills Middle School PTOs or staff, school districts 86, 181 or 63 endorse or recommend any specific provider reviewed on The Parent List.
