Goddard School Staff Goes 'Above And Beyond' In Round Lake

ROUND LAKE, IL — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented times. Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these everyday heroes.

A Gurnee resident nominated the faculty at The Goddard School in Round Lake, as a local Patch hero:

Where the nominee lives:

Round Lake

Where the person who nominated the hero lives:
Gurnee

Name of the nominee:
The Goddard School Faculty

Name of the person who nominated the hero:
Jennifer West

Is the nominee considered an “essential worker”?:
Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:
Early childhood education (daycare)

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
They have been working on the front lines since all of this started, taking care of essential families children, working with online classes to send to our students that are staying home, which is not normal for any daycare really. However, our faculty has gone above and beyond what a typical day care would do and is constantly communicating with families and children.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
Our faculty has been here everyday trying to help all children have a sense of normalcy in the "new normal" we are all learning.

Thank you for all you do, Goddard team!
