Leyden School District 212 Dr. Nicholas Polyak, superintendent

As we head back to school this year, we are opening a brand new manufacturing lab at West Leyden. The new space generated so much interest in our students that we needed to hire another Metals teacher to run five additional sections of manufacturing this year. This photo is from a check presentation where the Precision Machined Products Association Education Foundation ( http://www.pmpa.org/careers/pmpa- foundation ) presented a check for $10,000 to our School Board President, Administration, and Industrial Technology Department.

Teutopolis Unit 50 - William Fritcher, superintendent Teutopolis Unit 50 has undertaken a fundraising campaign to change how we teach and learn through the use of technology. Named "Techtopolis" by staff and students, the campaign has generated over $111,000 in pledges and will make a significant impact in our students' learning.
