Both teams send their thanks and appreciation and we look forward to participa ting in the Sprint Spectacular Wendy Moore (Girls Head Track & Field Coach, King College Prep High School , Chicago ) Mr. Johnston , I would like to thank you for supporting our team in donating the shoes. We greatly appreciate it. The girls are happy to be able to get shoes that will help them continue their training. I as a coach am humbly thankful that there is a foundation tha t helps children to be able to live out their dreams. It makes them feel good that someone is thinking of them. Nicole Keys -Reaves ( Assistant Track Coach, Morgan Park High School, Chicago) Mr. Johnston , A simple “Thank You” cannot cover the depth of appreciati on I have for your foundation ’s generous gift of running/training shoes to my school. Your gift makes it possible for us to compete on a level previously unattainable due to budget limitations. My students now have access to top-of-the-line equipment that enhances their performance and self-esteem. Many thanks for the generosity of the Winged Foot Foundation. Chad Adams (Principal . Sullivan High School , Chicago) Hi Mr. Johnston, I’m Nikki Atwood, former runner at Hillcrest High School. I was part of the Track & Cross Country teams. I really appreciated all you have done for me. Giving away all those free running shoes and all the nice gear was the best thing ever. I think it’s really nice for you to give away things like that. I know everyone can’t afford to buy the best running shoes or the gear. I still have shoes from you and gear that you gave to Coach Braden. You guys really care about your athletes. I’m now in my second year of college and I can tell you running as a collegiate athlete was the best thing that happened to me. College has allowed me to experience a different level of running. Competing in the Jayhawk conference, I had a good year last season for track and making this season even better. Making it to nationals in NY at the armory was mouth dropping and such a GREAT experience. I’m doing well in school with classes and really like my teachers. I’ve got to meet some amazing people here in KS which is awesome. I hope you’re doing well and continuing to donate shoes. Nikki Mitch , Thank you so much for the equipment. Our team and school really appreciate the proper running shoes & clothes so thank you again. Sincerely, Sara Holic (Manley High School, Chicago) Mitch , Thanks so much for the shoes. Katherine Cervenka (Cross Country/Track & Field, Lake View High School) Mitch , Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. We really appreciate the spikes for our cross country team. Hope to see you and Karen again soon. Take care. Ann Price (Moose International, Mooseheart, IL) Mitch, The coaching staff and I thank you for the shoes you donated to the De La Salle Track and Field Team.

This year, as in each year since the Arts Education Plan was released, the progress report identifies some important gains. Foremost among these is that a higher percentage of CPS schools than ever before, serving a higher share of CPS students than ever before, are meeting the criteria to be rated as Strong or Excelling in the arts. This achievement is particularly encouraging considering the financial challenges the district has faced in recent years. Despite a frequently uncertain and challenging financial climate, and with additional arts gains clearly needed, data reflect that both the district and principals have continued to prioritize arts education in their schools.
