Jason Lembke, representing DLR Group, explained how the group ponce From Page 4 Ponce, the son of “Chicago Tonight” (WTTW) host Phil Ponce, graduated from New Trier in 1995, shortly before his father took a job in Washington D.C. with the national PBS show, “The News Hour with Jim Lehrer.” At New Trier, he played violin in the orchestra, sang in the swing and concert choirs, performed in the musicals and plays, and ran track and cross country all four years. Glencoe was on his radar only to the extent that a high school girlfriend lived there, four blocks from his home now. After graduating from New Trier, Ponce earned his bachelor’s degree from Indiana University and master’s degree from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. His TV career began in 2005 when he was hired at WILX-TV in Lansing, Mich., as a reporter and weekend anchor. In 2006, he joined ABC-owned WLS-TV in Chicago as a general assignment reporter. began its work with the District in July. The hiring came in response to the District’s Enrollment Balancing Project, which started last year with discussions on how to alleviate overcrowding in some district schools. The fix for the current year is that the incoming kindergarten class will be split between Greeley School and Hubbard Woods School while Crow Island School will start at first grade. Lembke explained that the District is in Phase 1: Deeper Understanding, Before joining WGN-TV in 2010 as a general assignment reporter, there was a two-year professional detour. In 1996, while at Indiana, Ponce founded the a cappella group Straight No Chaser. After the group’s videos went viral on the internet, Atlantic Records gave them a record deal. In 2009, after Straight No Chaser’s album “Holiday Spirits” went to No. 1 on iTunes and Amazon, Ponce decided to leave ABC and join the group full-time. SNC went on to perform hundreds of concerts throughout the country and record three more albums for Atlantic. The group’s televised concert series “Live in New York” (produced by WTTW) aired on PBS stations coast to coast. Though he no longer sings with the group, Ponce does occasionally write for them, and when they perform in the Civic Opera House in December, he plans to be in the audience cheering them on. Ponce and Amy, who works for an addiction treatment center, have been married for six years and lived in Chicago until the which began with a facilities engineering analysis and will continue through October. During this phase, it will be gathering input from the primary users, including students, teachers, administrators and support staff. Student ideation, teacher activity logs, indoor environmental quality and sustainability will be among the factors it considers. Phase 1 will conclude with community presentations at each school during the week of Sept. 25-Oct. 3. Following that, Phase 2: move to Glencoe. Once he was settled back in television news at WGN-TV, the focus of their life rarely shifted north. “In the news business, we don’t come up to the North Shore very often,” he said. “There are not a lot of stories here that are going to lead the 10 o’clock news, so I didn’t spend a whole lot of time up here even when I lived in Chicago.” Nor did he come back to the North Shore to “hang out,” except to occasionally pop into Walker’s Pancake House in Wilmette “to relive my childhood a little bit and get the 49er’s flapjacks,” or to grab a burger at the Chuckwagon in Wilmette. But as friends began moving back to the North Shore, so did the gravitational pull for him to do the same. “I wouldn’t say I necessarily missed the North Shore but eventually our friends start moving here and we spent a little bit more time here and we knew it was probably time to make the move,” he said. “We were in this house for about two minutes and we Discover and Explore will begin with a district-wide preview on global perspectives, scheduled for Oct. 24. During Phase 2, DLR will do comparisons with other school districts in Illinois, around the United States and in other nations to find models of educational facilities that are worth following or adapting. Reporting by Katie Copenhaver, Freelance Reporter.

It feels like you live in a small town here so you get a little bit of that small town magic and it is still nice to be so close to the city.” In his spare time, Ponce enjoys tending to his yard and garden, which features plenty of hostas, hydrangeas and potted plants. “I love landscaping. I love to water it. I mow my own lawn. Everyone else around here outsources their yard work. I do my own. People who are driving around town will likely see me working in the yard or walking the dog,” he said. “We are off to a great start here,” Ponce added. “I think we are pretty much here to stay, and to be part of what I know is a really special community.” Coco Ally Lesniak Lesniak Family, of Glencoe Seven-year-old CoCo is an incredible shelter dog.
