Congratulations to Deborah Kost from Edison Middle School on your retirement! Thank you for 17 years of dedicated service! #YourCommunitySchools
One of Deborah’s favorite memories is when Edison’s 8th graders participated in Legacy Day as it encouraged students to look outside of themselves and help others and benefit the community. She cherishes being able to make connections with students and encourage them in becoming responsible young adults. In retirement, Deborah plans to enjoy more time with her family and the freedom to travel. She is also looking forward to helping others through her church.

Congratulations to Kathy Klage from Monroe Middle School on your retirement! Thank you for 33 years of dedicated service. #YourCommunitySchools
Kathy has taught in the same school district where she graduated. She attended Madison, Monroe, and Wheaton Central. As a math teacher, she has worked with many students who struggled to understand various math concepts. The greatest reward came recently in a letter from a former 7th-grade student that she worked with every day after school because the math did not come easy to him. He wanted to thank her and tell her that he is currently a junior in college and studying to be an Aerospace Engineer. Kathy’s greatest accomplishment has been her ability to connect with students and parents and keep in touch with them after they leave her classroom. A new home with water access in Ottawa, Illinois awaits Kathy and her husband upon her retirement. She plans to spend a lot of time boating, entertaining family and friends, and traveling.
