Today is officially our beloved custodian Mr. Ed’s last day at District 90 after an incredible 45 years of service. His care, dedication, and pride for Evans will never be forgotten, and he will be dearly missed by our entire school community.

We will especially miss hearing his famous “ok” over the radio after every request. No matter the task, Mr. Ed always got the job done and supported our staff and students with kindness and reliability.

Thank you, Mr. Ed, for everything you did for Evans — from countless musical set-ups, snow and ice removal, cafeteria cleaning, and so much more behind the scenes each and every day. Your impact on our school is immeasurable, and Evans will always be better because of you. Enjoy your well-earned retirement!

Today we celebrated a special tradition at LaVerna Evans Elementary School as our 5th grade students took their final walk through the halls on the last day of school. It was a memorable moment filled with smiles, cheers, hugs, and plenty of emotions as we celebrated all they have accomplished during their time at Evans.

We are incredibly proud of this amazing group of students and all the growth they have shown academically, socially, and personally. As they move on to junior high, we wish them nothing but success, happiness, and confidence in the exciting journey ahead. Once an Evans Eagle, always an Evans Eagle!

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming members of the District 90 Junior High Band and Chorus to perform for our students! They did an outstanding job, and our students were a wonderful audience. It was especially exciting to see some LaVerna Evans alumni represented in both the band and chorus. We are so proud of their continued success and loved having them back in our building!

Thank you for an amazing Staff Appreciation Week with a 90s theme! Our students did a wonderful job surprising staff by wearing their favorite staff member’s color and writing such thoughtful notes. It was so special to see the kindness and appreciation shared throughout the building.

The students also loved seeing the 90s pictures of our staff—it brought lots of smiles and laughs all week long!

A big shoutout to Nitro Salsa and our PTO for providing a delicious lunch this week, along with the thoughtful personal gifts for each staff member. Your support helped make our staff feel truly valued and appreciated. Thank you for helping make this week so special!
