Contribute to Teacher's Farewell at Sheridan Elementary

Website created for parents, students, former students to send retirement wishes to teacher Dave Knowling.

 

Wanted: Former students, grateful parents, colleagues and community members lucky enough to interact with Dave Knowling, who has taught in Lake Forest School District 67 for more than 30 years and will retire at the end of this school year.

Knowling began working for District 67 in 1975 as a special education aide at Deer Path Intermediate. He left in 1978 to attend graduate school. He returned in 1978 as a substitute teacher. In 1979, he began teaching sixth grade. In 1986, he moved to Sheridan to teach fourth grade where he has remained since.

A group of grateful parents have created an Online Retirement Party to celebrate his service to the community. This website is an opportunity as parents, former students, colleagues, and current students to express our best wishes for Knowling's retirement, thank him for his hard work and share favorite memories.
