Nettlehorst School - Chicago:
Since 1892, our red brick building in East Lakeview has been one of the
finest public elementary schools in Chicago. Today, we are a CPS Mag-
net Cluster School and one of the first CPS Community Schools in Chi-
cago.
We offer a broad-based education, emphasizing learning, creativity,
personal growth, and appreciation for other cultures. Children from pre-
kindergarten through eighth grade learn in a stimulating, vibrant and se-
cure environment—with enrichment opportunities among the finest in
the city.
42. Awareness Vehicles:
Nettelhorst has established itself as a success story in the public edu-
cation system, pioneering and rolling out programs for students and
community alike. To sustain and supercharge this momentum, the
school has established long-term visions and goals for each and ev-
ery discipline, and will create partnerships with organizations that share
in the promise and power of these visions and their positive impact on
both children and adults.

wellness of body, mind and soul, where all are in a state of health, the

ment of creating quality of life experiences through :
Pride, Communication, Ownership,Enrichment,Empowerment, Health &

Our next step will be to connect each team member with an authority in

concepts to become feasible and viable components of our overall plan.
We will also be working collaboratively with our other teams to see how
these experiences best fit into the framework that has been proposed
here today....
