Meet our Weber Elementary Principal:
Mrs. Yaa D. Appiah-McNulty
Mrs. Appiah-McNulty was born in Ghana, West Africa. She came to the United States at the age of nine but spent some childhood summers back in her hometown. Many of her childhood years were spent in Rantoul and Freeport, Illinois.
She graduated from Freeport High School and moved to Dubuque, Iowa, to pursue a degree in Elementary Education. She attained her Associate's Degree from Peosta, Iowa, and finished her Bachelor’s Degree at Clarke University in Dubuque, majoring in K–9 Elementary Education with a Reading Endorsement. After attaining her Bachelor's degree, she moved back to Freeport and accepted a position as an elementary teacher at Empire Elementary School, where she taught for five years. She then pursued a Master's Degree in Education Administration, completing that degree at National Louis University in Lisle, Illinois.
Mrs. Appiah-McNulty's priority goal is to collaborate with all stakeholders to drive student achievement for all children at Weber Elementary.

Get Moving for Healthy Kids Annual 5K and Youth Track & Field Events
Join race ambassador Tim Dwight and Herky for this year's Get Moving for Healthy Kids walk/run on Sunday, May 20, 2018 at City High School. Get Moving for Healthy Kids is the annual walk/run event with a dual purpose — as its name implies. The event promotes and supports Healthy Kids Community Care, our area school-based health clinics. These clinics provide basic health care for children without adequate access to the health care most of us take for granted. The second purpose is to promote activity and exercise for our children (and adults too!).
