⭐️ Mrs. Orman has dedicated so much love and care to Kaneland over the years. No matter the role, children were always at the center of her heart and world.

We are incredibly grateful for the support, encouragement, and compassion she has shared with our students, staff, and families. Her impact on our school community will be felt for years to come.

Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Orman on her retirement and thanking her for all she has given to Kaneland. We wish her nothing but happiness in this next chapter! 💙

Some stories come full circle in the best way. ❤️
A few years ago, Miss Carlson was a student in Mrs. Gilkey’s art class… and today they stand together as 2nd grade teammates. What a special reminder of the lasting impact teachers have on the lives of their students.

Happy Retirement, Mrs. Gilkey! Thank you for the creativity, kindness, and love you poured into generations of students. You will be greatly missed! 🍎✨

Today we had a very special guest principal! Miss Lindgren, one of our 3rd grade students, won the Open House silent auction prize to be “Principal for the Day!”

We had a busy and productive day together — greeting students in the morning, attending the 2nd grade concert, reading to classrooms, running office errands, making announcements, and even helping find buses at the end of the day. Miss Lindgren did an amazing job and was a wonderful leader throughout the day!

We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
