Ike’s Love & Sandwiches continues expansion Location: 13070 W. Rancho Santa Fe Boulevard, Suite 0216, Avondale One of the fastest-growing sandwich brands has opened a new unit. Ike’s Love & Sandwiches, which has over 80 units across the West, is continuing to expand with over 30 new planned locations in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Northern California, Phoenix and Avondale. Ike’s is targeting more than 30% growth in 2022, bringing its signa-
ture Dutch Crunch bread and its Dirty Sauce to even more communities throughout California and Arizona. In the last few weeks, Ike’s opened a location at the iconic Sunset and Vine intersection in Hollywood, Costa Mesa in Orange County, and Rice Village in Houston. “Our rapid expansion is fueled by our loyal Ikesters who love our world-famous dirty sauce and huge variety of meat, vegan and vegetarian sandwiches,” said Michael Goldberg, chief executive officer of Ike’s Love & Sandwiches. “We have put in place an energetic and seasoned executive team that has enabled successful growth even in these trying economic times.” The Avondale location is in the Palmilla Center.

Wildflower academy celebrates students’ success BY LAUREN SERRATO
West Valley View Staff Writer
T
he Avondale Elementary School District is no stranger to success, as its schools have won multiple state and national awards for their academic achievements. Wildflower Accelerated Academy is one of the district’s successes after being deemed an A+ School of Excellence and recipient of the Founder’s Award from the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching. As first-year principal, previously serving as vice principal, Katelyn Orloski said it’s the accelerated learning model that allows Wildflower students to thrive. “We fit yearlong work into three quarters,” Orloski said. “So our third graders start on fourth grade work in that last quarter of school. Our kids work at a faster pace, the work in the classroom is at a higher level and the work they’re producing is at a higher level.” Orloski said Wildflower is committed to accelerating the growth of each individual learner by focusing on individualized instruction at or above grade level. To achieve the high standards the teachers and staff set, Wildflower provides small-group instruction. Orloski added that the high quality of the teachers makes a huge difference in the students’ ability to achieve. “We have the best teachers at Wildflower,” she said. “Our teachers teach one content area, which allows our teachers to be content experts. I believe this has an extreme impact on students’ success, as well as that small-group setting. Our small-group instruction allows for our teachers to cater to our students. We have had a lot of success with our structures and with the teach-
ers’ knowledge for their students.” Aware of the many schools throughout the state, Orloski said it’s the “Wildflower Way” that sets Wildflower Accelerated Academy apart. “It’s a different mentality here,” she said. “We provide curriculum that challenges them, and we make sure they have access to learn and Left, Katelyn Orloski is the principal of Wildflower Accelerated understand.
