"My favorite thing about working for KCSD96 is the people- the kids and the staff. When walking through the doors, I feel supported and know I’m surrounded by people who are always willing to jump in and help regardless of what my needs are! The kids show how much they love showing up everyday and put a smile on my face. I love working for KCSD96!"

"Coming to work at Willow Grove always puts a smile on my face! Of course the students are adorable and can make you smile, but also the staff! Even when days are tough, there is always something to smile about, a student will say something that makes my day and reminds me of why I love my job!"
