Congratulations to Debbie Koehler from the Transition Program on your retirement! Thank you for 23 years of dedicated service! #YourCommunitySchools
Debbie truly values all of the amazing people that she has come to know during her time working in District 200. So many have become good friends and brought many happy moments in her life. She learned so much and has enjoyed so many good memories during these many years. Relaxation, travel, and finally having more time for family and friends are on Debbie’s agenda for retirement.
The parking lots at Wheaton North are complete! These updates are part of nearly $10M in facilities work taking place across the District this summer. #YourCommunitySchools
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.

Jon feels fortunate to have worked with so many great kids and families as well as some of the most dedicated, knowledgeable, and hardworking teachers ever. The best moments were hearing students say, “That was fun,” knowing they had been held to a high standard, and they had realized the gratification of working hard to accomplish a difficult task. Jon is looking forward to continuing to use his skills in different ways while having some more flexibility to travel and spend time with family.
Congratulations to Christine Fritsch from Edison Middle School on your retirement! Thank you for 27 years of dedicated service! #YourCommunitySchools
Christine’s first principal at Wiesbrook, Mary Curley, the 8th-grade social studies and project business classes at Franklin, and the 8th-grade, student-led community service projects for multiple years at Edison definitely contributed to many of her favorite memories with students and staff. Her greatest accomplishment is the support and guidance she has shared with generations of students that have grown into kind, responsible citizens, spouses, and parents! Christine is hoping to enjoy the food, people, and culture in other countries when she is not spending time closer to home with family and friends. She is looking forward to volunteering at local non-profit groups, reading for the fun of it, and not waking up at 5:30 a.m. Monday through Friday!
Congratulations to Jan Fleege from Monroe Middle School on your retirement! Thank you for 29 years of dedicated service! #YourCommunitySchools
Jan has received many letters from parents thanking her for encouraging their children and helping them succeed and each letter has been special to Jan. Working with the students and teachers at Monroe has been genuinely rewarding. As a teaching assistant, it always has given her a great feeling when students are able to see the benefits of hard work and the surprised look on their faces when they accomplish a lesson they didn’t think they could. Spending time with the grandchildren and traveling are on Jan’s retirement bucket list.
