See the announcement below to see the impact that Ms. Nizynski had not only on our school community, but on the community at large!
The Power of One Award
We are pleased to announce that we have chosen Shelley Nizynski Reese as the recipient of our inaugural Power of One Award. Shelley has exemplified the Power of One through her humanitarian mission to provide opportunities to children in need. Through the establishment of two non-profit organizations, one in Ghana called the Midian Education Support and the other in the U. S. called A Better Life for Kids, deaf children who are often shunned in Ghanaian society now attend a school that teaches them proper sign language, and orphanages in Ghana receive food, medicine, and other essential supplies, as well as receive mentoring and tutoring. A school teacher, Shelley has also galvanized the students at McCracken Middle School in Skokie, Illinois to reach beyond their community and help their fellow students in Ghana.
