An intriguing number from this week’s edition
The number of new officers added
to the Glenview Police Department
at the start of January. See Page

From the Editor
Jason Addy
Editor
This week’s cover
story really got me
thinking.
As a young reporter
navigating my way in this
often cutthroat, always difficult
industry, Peter Nolan,
a Glenview newsman, is an
inspiration to me.
When I first went to
Penn State University as
an incoming freshman, I
was sure that I would learn
to crunch numbers and
earn an accounting degree,
following in the footsteps
of my corporate accountant
aunt.

ry academic interventions.
The school also shares
three students with the
Northern Suburban Special
Education District.
Reading and writing instruction
is highly differentiated
through a balanced
literacy model.
Guided reading, aka
Team Read, begins this
month.
For 30 minutes every
day, students receive feedback
and guidance on important
reading behaviors
at their individual stage of
development, Carlson said.
“It is remarkable to see
the growth from fall to
spring! Magic!” he said.
In the math workshop,
The story of a lifetime
I quickly realized I
wasn’t made for the business
world. I mulled over
this realization, and on a
whim, found myself at the
next student newspaper
tryout. I was instantly
hooked by the rush of
breaking news.
As detailed on Page 6,
Peter Nolan first found his
calling as a reporter while
working on the student
newspaper at Villanova
University in Philadelphia.
Nolan felt the initial pains
of finding a job in the news
industry after graduation
— a challenge I can easily
relate to.
Despite those early
doubts, Nolan forged his
way into the industry and
became one of the leading
reporters in Chicago’s
competitive news market.
Similarly, after earning
my journalism degree, I
struggled to land a reporting
job with my scant
experience. While stocking
faculty continue to access
the Math In Focus and
Bridges resources. The
math workshop integrates
multiple visuals and games.
There is collaborative
planning time scheduled
with the math coordinator
and specialist, and the
workshop includes multiple
visuals and games.
“The students love composing
and decomposing
numbers with dice,”
Carlson said.
Dr. Hirsch said that this
is the third year that the
school is incorporating
the Shared Collaborative
Imaginative Play curriculum,
where specials teachers
and classroom teachers
co-teach important socialemotional
skills and concepts
during the play block
bookstore shelves, an opportunity
finally knocked
on my door, and I grabbed
it with both hands.
For more than a year, I
invested myself in a small
city in central Pennsylvania,
learning about the people
who called it home and
helping to inform them of
the decisions that impacted
their lives. After some
time, wanting to stretch my
legs further, I packed up
my life and moved to the
Chicago region to continue
honing this craft.
This time, it was even
harder to find a job that I
felt proud of and paid the
bills. After scouring job
boards and freelancing for
the 22nd Century Media
for a few months, another
opportunity knocked.
I got the privilege of
learning and exploring
Glenview, and keeping you
informed of what’s happening
around town.
Like Nolan, I’ve met
Hirsch said team reading
and phonics started
after winter break. The
school is also using a new
program called Fundations
that emphasizes a multisensory
approach to alphabet
letters, sounds and
handwriting.
Staff members will be
giving a presentation on
SCIP at the upcoming Illinois
ASCD Kindergarten
Conference, which is held
from March 6-8.
Kindergarten Registration
for next school year
will be held from 1-7
p.m. Thursday, Feb. 7, at
Willowbrook School.

and written about great
people in my time in
Glenview — far less, but
as uniquely interesting and
good-willed as his sources.
In honor of his great accomplishments,
Nolan will
be recognized in May by
his journalism colleagues
at the Silver Circle Honors
Dinner in Chicago.
He will be given the
2019 Silver Circle Award,
the highest honor in Chicago’s
television industry,
along with 10 other
inductees, by the Midwest
Chapter of the National
Academy of Television
Arts and Sciences.
Such an award is a testament
to a man who has
lived a full life in service
to others.
I only hope that one day
I, too, will be able to celebrate
such a blessing, and
have a few great stories of
my own to tell.
