District 39 Educational Foundation
Inspiring Minds
On May 31, 2013 the 7th and 8th graders at WJHS heard from Wilmette Fire Chief Jim Dominik and Lieutenant Ben Wozney (both alumni of D39). Jim and Ben spoke about the various ways firemen and EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) professionals use math.
Wilmette Police Chief Brian King told students he simply could not do his job and protect the Wilmette community without using math. Numbers and statistics show up everywhere from crime reports to budget projections to police vehicle service records to understanding the fitness test results for potential police recruits.
Highcrest students were in for a real treat in spring 2011, when all eyes turned to Rob and Ann Garrison, D39 parents and owners of The Noodle Cafe and Depot Nuevo.
