🌟 Celebrating Kristina Pierce, 2nd Grade Teacher at Greeley School! 🌟

Kristina is one of this year's recipients of The Alliance for Early Childhood's Teacher Impact Raffle — a small way to recognize the tremendous impact educators make every day.

With 19 years of teaching experience, Kristina brings curiosity, care, and enthusiasm to her classroom. Here's a little glimpse into what inspires her work ⤵️

🍎 What brings you joy in teaching?
"Seeing my kids light up when they learn something new!"

💡 What's something your students have taught you?
"That it is never too old to learn something new. They teach me new things every day!"

🌱 How do you recharge outside of school?
"I love gardening and plants! They are kind of like kids :)"

👏 Thank you, Kristina, for the joy, growth, and learning you cultivate in the lives of children each day.

Families joined The Alliance for Early Childhood, the Wilmette Public Library, BackYard Nature Center, Go Green Wilmette, Kids Science Labs, the Wilmette Park District, A. Perry Homes, and the Wilmette Police Department for a joyful morning of play at Romona Elementary on Saturday, May 9th!

This hands-on, family-friendly event invited children to dive into open-ended, child-led play experiences that sparked imagination, built confidence, and supported healthy development.

From nature-based exploration to creative construction and active play, you and your child followed your curiosity, connected with others, and flexed your “play muscles” together.

Grounded in District 39’s recent report, Harnessing the Power of Free Play to Advance Educational Outcomes, this experience highlighted what we know to be true: play supports children’s physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth, and it’s essential for strong, connected families and communities.
