Former Weber teacher, Yukiko Hill, has been awarded an Endeavor Fellowship with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, allowing her to explore ways to integrate science, technology, engineering and mathematics principles into the classroom.
Mrs. Hill is now the STEM teacher in residence at the Grant Wood Area Education Agency. She is excited about the opportunity and hopes it will expand her abilities as a teacher.
During the 18-month online program, Hill will earn her STEM certificate from Teachers College at Columbia University in New York. She also will have the opportunity to pursue national board certification.
We are proud of Mrs. Hill!

Weber Families:
Thanks to the wonderful generosity of our amazing Weber families, our Weber Wardrobe is overflowing with certain items and sizes.

Our goal is not just to COLLECT the clothing, but to pass it along to families where it can be USED! Because of that, we are planning a…
Clothing give-away!
During the hours when parent-teacher-student conferences are taking place at Weber, we will have clothing from the Weber Wardrobe available for families to take what they can use, completely free of charge! Clothing will be set up in the front hallway outside of the office. No requirements…no restrictions… just take it if you can use it!
Give-away hours:
• Thursday, February 23 from 4-7:30 p.m.
• Tuesday, February 28 from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
*Don’t forget that we will also have the LOST & FOUND ITEMS available for you to claim if they are yours at that time!
