Education
T
hree public K–8 districts and one private school act as “feeders” for the Washington Community High School District. Regional schools have been recognized for excellence at both state and national levels, and all put an emphasis on preparing students for the challenging, high-tech careers of the 21st century.
District 50 Schools 309-745-8914 • www.d50schools.com
District 50 Schools offer an excellent curriculum taught by an experienced staff, as well as a number of extracurricular activities for students. The John L. Hensey building houses the superintendent’s office, as well as students in grades kindergarten through third grade. Beverly Manor School includes grades four through eight. The current student population is approximately 800. Teachers and students at Beverly Manor School embarked on a new framework for instructional delivery in the 2012–2013 school year, in line with what administration and staff hope will be the next phase in their adoption of 21st-century transformational learning. Thanks to a $250,000 federal grant with technology emphasis, received in 2008, District 50 students already have an array of technology at their fingertips. Methods of instruction have incorporated technology-based standards as guideposts, with an emphasis on the creation of student technology projects.

We’re Making the Grade
Continuing the technology trend, in the spring of 2012 the Board of Education approved the lease of 320 Apple iPad devices for distribution to all sixth, seventh and eighth grade students and staff, with a uniform platform for application delivery. This lease is anticipated to save the district nearly $15,000 per year over the last two of three years of the agreement when compared to expenditures for technology of past leases. The iPads will enhance the academic program for students by allowing them to become more fully engaged in lessons. At the same time, emphasis will be placed on student creation for learning, as opposed to traditional methods of absorption.
Central School District 51 309-444-3943 • www.central51.net
Central School District 51 serves over 1,200 students in grades kindergarten through eight. Central Primary School is home to kindergarten through grade three, while Central Intermediate School houses children in grades four through eight. Central’s mission is to “Encourage Excellence Every Day, with Compassion, Commitment and Community.” The district has outstanding educators and enjoys tremendous support from parents and the community. Central is a multi-year winner (most recently in 2011) of the Illinois State Board of Education’s Academic Excellence Award, given only to those districts that have sustained very high academic performance over at least three years. In 2010, Central School District was one of only 81 of Illinois’ 850plus school districts to earn the SchoolSearch™ Bright Star Award, which recognizes school districts whose student achievement on state tests ranks in the upper one-third, while the expenditure per pupil ranks in the lower one-
fourth. Administration and the community are very proud of Central staff and students for earning these prestigious recognitions. In addition to award-winning academics, Central School District offers an array of extracurricular activities to round out and enhace the educational experience. Trojan sports include baseball, softball, boys’ and girls’ basketball, volleyball, track, cheerleading, and dance. Student Council, Speech Team and Scholastic Bowl hone leadership and confidence, while Drama Team, Band and Choir allow students to explore their artistic talents. District administration welcomes input and questions from parents and the community. Please contact the central office at 309-444-3943.
District 52 Schools 309-444-3361 • www.d52schools.com
District 52 students benefit from two excellent schools: Lincoln Grade School for students in kindergarten through fourth grade and Washington Middle School for fifth through eighth graders. Schools in District 52 have worked diligently to keep pace with the ever-changing shifts in the way students learn. Today, children grow up with technology and are unafraid to use and access the vast wealth of programs, applications, communication devices and information stored on the Web. D52 schools are continually working to incorporate these technological changes to improve student learning. Throughout D52, a variety of programs are designed to meet just this need. The Balanced Literacy program focuses on identifying each student’s reading level and provides instruction at that level. Along with the more individualized reading instruction are supplemental Web-based programs that provide further reading practice. In kindergarten through sixth grade, a new math curriculum with an online component enables students and parents to access content and other practice materials. D52 also provides a supplemental online math program for students to practice math skills. Finally, seventh and eighth grade math teachers have created self-made videos of each lesson, available for students to access at school and at home. Students then use the Web-based supplemental programs to practice math skills covered in the recorded lesson. Technology throughout the district continues to grow. Laptop carts are available for each grade level at Washington Middle School, with at least one computer available for every two students. Teachers at WMS prepare lessons that allow students to utilize the laptops every day. At LGS, the district, along with significant support from the PTC, is providing mounted projection devices to allow students to watch and participate as teachers access the Internet to utilize vast resources available on the Web. D52 strives to provide current and relevant support for student learning in this ever-changing technological environment.

Follow the Footsteps …
A
braham Lincoln spent much of his adult life balancing his legal practice with politics. His trips through Washington for both of these careers are documented in early newspapers. Bronze footprints have been placed throughout Washington to mark the sites he visited, events in participated in, or property of Washington citizens with a direct connection to him.
1. The Washington Square. B.C. Bryner’s book, Lincoln in Peoria, Illinois, says Lincoln had political meets with well-known politicians in Richard Smith’s Dry Goods Store, which is now Holland’s Mercantile. This part of Washington’s history is still to be confirmed.
2. Political Speech. During the campaign for Senate in 1858, Lincoln arrived in Washington via freight train from Peoria. He continued in a procession to Metamora, but returned to Washington that night and gave a speech in front of the Hungerford Hotel, which once sat on the east side of the square (currently Brecklin’s ServiCENTER). Two days later he and Stephen Douglas debated in Galesburg, Ill.
Lincoln in Washington
3. Old Buck, Old Tom. A pair of footprints is in the center of the square (north side), as Lincoln likely left his horses, Old Buck and Old Tom, there while he represented Washington citizens in legal cases of the 8th Judicial Circuit. Toward the end of his circuit trial days, Lincoln more often traveled by train.
4. Haven Pierce. Haven Pierce, who lived at 110 N. Elm, was one of the “Washington Boys” who were charged for destroying Pearl’s Saloon, west of the square, because David Kelso died after consuming tainted whiskey there. Lincoln defended the “Washington Boys” for $25.
5. Presbyterian Church. There are footprints at 105 S. Elm, the site of the original Presbyterian Church, which also served as a community meeting house and where Lincoln spoke in 1844. The speech was in support of presidential candidate Henry Clay. Although Clay lost, the speech documents that, in the 1840s, Lincoln was becoming involved in national politics. He also successfully defended in court a member of this church, J. Randolph Scott, a farmer from southeast of town, who was charged with harboring runaway slaves.
For more information on the Lincoln footprints contact the Washington Historical Society at 309-444-2634. You can also pick up one of the Lincoln Footprint brochures at the Washington Chamber Office or the Zinser House in Washington.

Historical Society Home Tours Homes for the Holidays
F
or 27 years a special pre-holiday event in Washington has been a tour of unique, creative and restored homes. This popular activity serves as the main fundraiser for the Historical Society. Participants look forward to seeing the variety of Christmas decorations and getting ideas for their own dĂŠcor. Often the homeowners are generous enough with their personal time to be available if visitors have questions. Every year the Historical Society tries to offer at least one or two special historical homes that feature antiques and craftsmanship rarely seen in newly constructed homes. Also included are newer construction and cozy, updated bungalows. We pride ourselves in the variety of styles and ages of homes chosen. The day also includes refreshments and an open house at the Historical Society headquarters, The Dement-Zinser House.

Offering more than 260 acres in 14 community, neighborhood or specialized areas, the Washington Park District provides quality recreational programs, facilities and parks that meet the leisure needs and improve the quality of life for the residents of Washington. Governed by a five-member elected Board of Commissioners, the park district is an independent municipal corporation organized under the laws of the state of Illinois in 1968. The Washington Park District has been a major partner in the construction of eight miles of the community’s Washington Recreational Trail. Winding through residential and parks areas and offering pedestrians and bicyclists near connections with both schools and shopping, the paved trail has been extended and expanded in phases sponsored by the park district, private property owners and state grants. The Washington Park Pool is another great feature, with three pools including a zero-depth interactive play pool. The pool season runs from the first weekend after Memorial Day through the last weekend before school begins in August. Daily or season passes are available, as well as swim lessons and pool rentals. The acquisition of the old Washington Middle School allows the Washington Park District to offer a full variety of recreational and educational programs, including dance, tumbling, fitness, before- and after-school care, day camp, playgroups, and pre-kindergarten, just to name a few. It features a fitness center with equipment for an effective cardiovascular workout and is home to the Washington Park District Administration Office.
