As a proud member of the Board of Thrive Chicago, we seek to support innovative, positive experiences for our students in Chicago. Whenever we have an opportunity to participate in new initiatives for advancing the education process, it’s a good day for Chicago and its citizens. Collaboration is key to our success as a city, and to enriching the lives of all our children. Please take a moment to read about the positive momentum at Sullivan High School and what wonderful things can happen when we all work together.
