I have had two kids go through Willard. it has been a wonderful place for them to learn and grow. Both of my kids - who are very different - loved going to school, they were both given the help they needed to succeed, and learn, and they were also valued for their individuality. The staff are positive, and work hard. As my youngest is finishing her last week at Willard we are all a bit teary. I am so grateful my kids had the privilege of going to Willard - a place that has set them on a road where they love school and love to learn. Thank you, Willard School.

My son is at willard in second grade doing things the books I have say advanced fourth graders know. My daugher is about to go to fifth grade and leave willard for middle school. I with most of the mothers sobbed because our babies are leaving their safe little school. All i hear is how great Roosevelt is and how much every fifth grader thinks it is the bomb because you change rooms and they are segregated and they LOVE fifth grade and on and on. I have advanced degrees and the teachers here are so much more than college grads, most have masters degrees and so much more. They are awesome. They truly take an interest in the student(s) love teaching and it shows. I love you all district 90. thanks from fiona and liam. xoxoooxooxoxoo
