We recently mailed out post cards with the results of the community feedback survey and our plans going forward. There are likely questions that people have, and we will address those questions as best we can. We want to take this opportunity to offer a summarized version of where we’ve been and how we got where we are today.
To start, everything from the first brick laid in the 1920s to today has been haphazardly organized and never unified. We can point to a number of reasons as to why, but for our purposes with this post that doesn’t matter. The fact is that it’s never been fully addressed. Though there have been valiant efforts to do so.
The students at Indian Village Elementary School showed their appreciation for the Fort Wayne community by giving back to other local children on Tuesday.
The students, according to school officials, collected donations throughout the community and put together care packages for other kids that may be in need.
The Fort Wayne Police Department posted to their Facebook page said they will give out these packages whenever they find a child in need. They also say they are very appreciative of the students making and giving these packages for them to give out, and say their kindness is a great example of how Fort Wayne can build a better community.
Burlington Stores in partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org is donating $5,000 towards school supplies to Fort Wayne Community Schools’ Indian Village Elementary School in celebration of its new store now open in Fort Wayne at Jefferson Pointe Mall.
A representative from AdoptAClassroom.org contacted school administrators and helped to secure the donation for Indian Village, which will provide $1,000 each in new supplies for five teachers’ classrooms.
“On behalf of Indian Village, I welcome our new local Burlington store and thank them and AdoptAClassroom.org for their generous donation to our school,” Indian Village Principal Kara Miller said. “Our teachers are so excited to purchase new tools for their classrooms. We are thankful for the support we received from Burlington and AdoptAClassroom.org.”
Debra Honn, third-grade teacher at Indian Village Elementary School, and Lisa Clegg, English Language Learners teacher at Northrop High School, have been named the 2020 Fort Wayne Community Schools Teachers of the Year.
Honn, the FWCS Elementary Teacher of the Year, has taught for 25 years, the past five at Indian Village. There, she revived the school’s annual science fair and started a robotics club.
“I am impressed each time I visit her classroom,” Indian Village Principal Kara Miller said. “The passion and energy she exudes to help her students learn and grow is contagious. Mrs. Honn tailors her classroom so that it is an engaging learning environment for each and every student.”
