Teacher pens goodbye letter amid a multitude of issues facing education ‘I am exhausted – mentally, physically and emotionally’

By KIM SHUTE

kshute@shawmedia.com A Putnam County teacher has written a letter of resignation from teaching that has struck a chord with locals, both those in education and those who understand the struggles facing teachers today.

Chelsi Straughn-Niewinski said she never intended for the posted letter to gain so much traction, but she’s glad for the support she’s received from the community.

Straughn-Niewinski began her letter saying that she will be leaving the school, while thanking those who have helped her in her decade at Putnam County School District 535.

“I have made the decision to step away from teaching after dedicating the last 10 years to Putnam County schools,” Straughn-Niewinski wrote. “I felt compelled to share my reasons and thoughts with you on how this decision came to be, as I cherish the relationships and bonds I have formed with hundreds of students and their families during my time as a teacher and coach in this district.”

Straughn-Niewinski said that she and many others in the field of education have faced strong challenges while navigating through their professions.

“It should be no surprise to anyone reading this that educators have been under intense scrutiny as of late,” Straughn-Niewinski wrote. “There are many divisive topics in and out of education that are being increasingly discussed and debated. I am aware that these topics elicit strong opinions and feelings, and that many people disagree on these topics.”

“I acknowledge that every single person is allowed to have their opinions, and know that mine will not always align with others. That is life. What has happened over the last 12 to 18 months, however, has been that these different opinions have led to negative assumptions about what is actually going on in our schools. Educators are being criticized, loudly and publicly, in very unfair ways.”

In Straughn-Niewinski’s experience, individuals have used public avenues to criticize some of the district’s educators.

Chelsi Straughn-Niewinski said she never intended for the posted letter to gain so much traction, but she’s glad for the support she’s received from the community.

According to her, this has intensified over the past few weeks.

“It has become the first instinct of many people to take to public platforms to say negative and disrespectful things to and about their children’s educators,” she wrote. “Over the last couple weeks, those have amplified even further to members of our school district being sent threatening and hateful messages by members of our community. These things that have been said and done are appalling.”

Straughn-Niewinski stated that she felt she had reached a point in her profession where she was forced to made the decision to step away from teaching.

“To put it simply, I am exhausted – mentally, physically and emotionally,” Straughn-Niewinski stated. “The toll this has taken on my life has reached the point where I feel like my only option is to walk away.”

After posting her letter on Facebook on Feb. 17, Straughn-Niewinski received many comments and likes with people offering her kind words with what she elects to pursue in the future.

“I have received pretty much all positive feedback and supportive messages (of what I have seen and/or been sent directly anyways),” she said.” It’s been very emotional hearing from former students/parents/colleagues. My hope is that maybe a few people have a little bit more understanding and compassion for what educators have been going through after reading my letter.”

Straughn-Niewinski felt her experience needed to be shared, but wasn’t expecting to receive the amount of responses she did.

“I spent a long time carefully choosing those words to get my message out there in the correct tone,” Straughn-Niewinski said. “Never imagined it would ‘blow up’ to the extent it has.”

Putnam County School District Superintendent Clayton Theisinger said that he has witnessed the industry face a multitude of changes and challenges recently.

“There have been challenges this past year that are not necessarily new but did hit a tipping point, such as substitute shortages, bus driver shortages and meal delivery delays,” Theisinger said. “On top of these challenges, and most importantly, there was the drive to provide teaching and learning at a level of expectation set prior to the pandemic.”

Theisinger said that while schooling has started a return to normal, education still needs to be careful moving forward.

“Despite these generally positive intentions, education is an institution that has been subject to critique and criticism,” Theisinger said. “That is not new, but the pandemic and everything directly and indirectly associated with it has only elevated the criticism.

Putnam County Junior High sixth graders participate in Rebecca Caudill Young Reader’s Award program SHAW MEDIA The Putnam County Junior High School sixth grade students participated in the Rebecca Caudill Young Reader’s Award program. This award, determined by student votes, encourages students to read for personal satisfaction and develops a statewide awareness of outstanding children’s literature.

The book “Free Lunch” was chosen as being the favorite among the sixth grade participants out of the 20 nominated books.

After each student reads one of the books, they must pass the test, then fill out a story balloon.

A balloon report helps the student understand the parts of the novel.

After reading and reporting on three Rebecca Caudill books, the student receives a certificate stating they are eligible to attend the party and to vote for the Rebecca Caudill Young Reader’s Book Award.

On Thursday, Feb. 24, 20 students were given invitations to come to the party, which was held on Feb. 25.

The students voted on a total of 108 books that have been read so far by just sixth graders. Students were then treated to cookies, soda, ice cream and toppings in celebration of Rebecca Caudill’s birthday.

Dominik Avila, Alicica Barreras, Carter Baxter, Sofia Borri, Teresa Correa, Payson Fiorentini, Tessa Gerling, Brodee Grandadam, Avery Grasser, Samantha Marciniak, Andy Poignant, Myah Richardson, Seth Sandberg, Sarah Schenumm, Ella Schrowang, Quincy Smith, Peyton Squire, Piper Terando, Amelia Wozniak and Tyson Zuniga participated in the program.

Any sixth grader who reads all 20 of the Rebecca Caudill books will have their name engraved on a plaque to be displayed at the school in honor of this accomplishment. Students have until April 29 to meet the requirements to have their name on the plaque.

The program was introduced to the students through a cooperative effort among Mrs. Carboni’s sixth grade classes and PCJH Media Paraprofessional Mrs. Thompson.

Putnam County Junior High

thanked Mr. Olson and Dr. Theisinger for supporting the program and to Peg Myers for making the cookies for the party.

The school also issue a thank you to the Putnam County Educational Foundation for approving the grant that helped pay for copies of the books and the treats for the party. Thanks were issued to Putnam County District Librarian Ms. Davis, for helping to set up the program and for giving input on the grants.

“For anyone in any role, it becomes hard to retain purpose and focus when time is spent defending one’s actions, especially when those actions were more than likely because of the passion for teaching and doing what is best for students.”

Theisinger believes that the education industry is full of dedicated individuals who want to do their best to help their students grow and learn.

“No one becomes a teacher, paraprofessional or any other role in a school because it’s financially lucrative,” Theisinger said.

“They become educators because they have a passion for working with students and see the hope in the future from providing them with learning.”

Despite the challenges they may face, Theisinger said that in his experience the teachers still continue to show up every day and provide more than just education to their students.

Teachers offer social support, meals, a space for comfort, an opportunity to be welcomed by others and much more, he said.

“I would encourage anyone who wants to criticize a teacher to first speak with them,” Theisinger said.

“More than likely, the per-

son would find that there is more to the story and good intent by the teacher and for the student.”

Theisinger said that while school is important, it is not the only setting in which a student learns.

“The home is the most important setting and the community also plays a major factor,” Theisinger said. “Working with teachers rather than against, and recognizing a need for collaboration among these settings is only going to elevate opportunities for students.”

Straughn-Niewinski said that she will continue to cheer on her former colleagues and wanted to encourage them to continue to provide education, the best they can, to their students.

“To my fellow educators – those who are continuing to persevere in a way I am unable to – I will be here to root you on every step of the way,” Straughn-Niewinski wrote. “I know and see the dedication that you have to your job and your students.

“Is it always perfect?

Are we always at our absolute best every single day?

Of course not, but I know in my heart that the vast majority of the employees of this district would bend over backward to help the students of this district succeed.”

Tom Sistak for Shaw Media

Freedom Convoy rides high SHAW MEDIA Truck convoys – sometimes five to six miles long as drivers joined in and out along their routes – made their way Saturday afternoon along Interstate 39 through La Salle County.

The truckers joining the Freedom Convoy were greeted by several people waving flags and holding banners at interstate overpasses between Wisconsin and Oglesby.

At the Love’s Travel Stop in Oglesby, hundreds gath-

ered to support the truckers.

Route 251 was closed from Route 71 to Peru, and exits near Oglesby were blocked off to control traffic.

Supplies, such as food, were donated for the convoy by those in attendance. The idea is for truckers to make their way to Washington, D.C., and demonstrate there. Organizers said they are protesting COVD19 mitigations. In Illinois, many of these mitigations were loosened, including the mask mandate, which was removed Feb. 28.

Father Peter E. Hand Knights of Columbus Council 4537 will host its annual drive-thru pancake and sausage breakfast at 7 a.m. Sunday, March 13, at St. Patrick’s Parish Hall in Sheffield.

This event is open to the public and tickets will cost $5 and are available either at the drive-thru on the day of the event or can be purchased through any Sheffield Knights of Columbus Member.

Indoor seating may also be available.

Public input sought for local natural hazards Marshall and Putnam counties are seeking input from the public through an online survey regarding resident experiences and preparedness for natural hazards. The Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan survey will be

available until the end of March.

The purpose of the NHMP is to identify the types of natural hazards that impact the county and the communities in the county, to assess their vulnerability to those hazards, and to formulate mitigation strategies that will lessen the severity of natural disasters by protecting human life and property.

Every five years, plans must be reviewed and updated.

The survey is available at tinyurl.com/MP-NHMP-ResSurvey. Input from the survey will assist the county in better preparing for natural hazard events that may occur.

Marshall and Putnam counties are working with the North Central Illinois Council of Governments to update the county’s Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Putnam County Rotary’s school bulletin board inspires students with messages of kindness SHAW MEDIA How many times a day, a week, or a month have you thought, “I wish I could have a smile, some strength, loyalty, friendship, kindness, a little more patience, some laughter or even a little extra help?”

The latest bulletin board at Putnam County Junior High allows students to do that. The most recent board’s theme was “Take What You Need,” with almost 100 Post-it notes attached with needs the students could take.

These “needs” served as a little reminder that they aren’t alone and there is someone who might be able to give them the thing they need to help them get through a rough day.

The word on that tiny slip of paper was also used as a reminder to know they have that very trait and can use it or share it with others who might need a little help.

Three eighth grade students, Amelia Wozniak, Ella Schrowang and Maddy Magnuson, wrote a short description about what the board’s message meant to them.

“In the months of January and February, our bulletin board by the Putnam

County Rotary is a board of kindness.

They have written traits on a little note and put them on the bulletin board.

Some examples of these notes are being loyal, staying strong and creating.

“Creating is something that we don’t hear often but it is important. Creating can be something you imagine or maybe see and want to draw. Being loyal is something that a lot of people try to work on. It means to tell the truth and only the truth without lying.

“Staying strong is always really important because even if you’re going through a lot, you’ll always want to try and stay strong so you don’t take it out on others if you’re angry, mad, sad or even mad at someone. If you need a trait to help you through a day, please take a slip. It will serve as a reminder that you have that trait.”

These Rotarians hope this board has brought about discussions at school, home or church about knowing that we all have exactly what we need to get through each day.

The Rotary said that sometimes we know it and might need to look at our friends and family for them to show us or remind us to look inside ourselves to see what amazing people we are.

Putnam County Rotary to host a free carryout soup event SHAW MEDIA

The Putnam County Rotary is preparing for its 3-soup carryout event.

This event is free to all seniors and will take place between 2 and 4 p.m. Sunday, April 3, at the Hennepin, Magnolia and McNabb Fire Stations and the Putnam County Community Center.

The available soups will be vegetable, chili and tortellini in broth. To reserve your soups call the PC Community Center at 815-339-2711 or PutnamCountyRotary@gmail.com before March 28, with your name and phone number to reserve and let us know where you will be picking up your order.

Rotary volunteers will be ready at the pickup locations with curbside service. The soup will be packaged in containers ready for cooking or freezing.

The Rotary is offering this event to thank area senior residents for all they have done for our community and to serve all who might enjoy some hot soup as we approach the end of winter.

The Rotary wanted to thank Standard Fire Department for allowing them to store supplies at their station, the Hennepin Fire Department for

allowing the use of their kitchen so they could prepare the soup, the Magnolia and McNabb Fire Departments for allowing pickup at their stations and the PC Community Center for taking reservations and everything else they do in supporting the project as well as the Little Free Pantry.

This project is one of several sponsored by Putnam County Rotary to serve the local communities. Rotary also sponsors the Little Free Pantries in Standard and McNabb, offering free groceries for those in need in a pinch, along with winter hats, gloves and socks at the Standard location.

Other PC Rotary projects include sponsoring of the PCHS Post Prom Afterglow, PCHS and PCJH Interact Clubs, this year’s “positive message” bulletin board project at the junior high, community blood drives, Rotary Readers for children prekindergarten through third grade, free dictionaries for all third graders, four scholarship awards for graduating seniors, youth leadership camps, international youth exchange opportunities and more.

PRINCETON – Bureau County 4-H is looking for volunteers to help with planting a grouping of 25 oak trees at City County Park in Princeton, with the goal of tackling global issues at the local level. The organization will be looking to plant the trees beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 2.

“We need to become ‘carbon neutral’ by producing less CO2 gas and finding new ways to absorb and hold these carbon molecules so they don’t get trapped in the atmosphere which adds to the warming of our planet,” said Curt Sinclair, University of Illinois Extension 4-H natural resources and shooting sports specialist. “At the same time, we need to reduce stormwater runoff to improve water quality.”

Illinois once held 14 million acres of trees, according to Sinclair. That number dropped to 3 million acres before intentional efforts 50 years ago began to reverse the decline. Today, Illinois has 5 million acres of trees.

“More trees will move us closer to cleaner water, healthier soils, more animals and birds, greater biological diversity and cleaner air,” Sinclair says. “All these are critical to people’s health and quality of life.”

In the spring, 4-H youth in Bureau

GRANVILLE FIRE DEPT.

County and 30 other counties throughout Illinois will each plant a grouping of 25 oak trees on public properties in their county. The groups will bring new life to oak-hickory forests currently under threat in Illinois.

Bureau County 4-H looks forward to partnering with the Bureau County Soil and Water Conservation District on this project.

“4-H utilizes a learn-by-doing approach which we felt there would be no better way to learn about the importance of oak trees than to have the hands-on experience of making an impact in our community through participation in this program,” said Danielle Gapinski, Bureau County 4-H Program Coordinator.

A rain date is set for 2 p.m. April 9.

Youth, adults, businesses and other organizations that would like to participate in the planting process should contact Gapinski at 815-875-2878 or des85@illinois.edu.

The 4-H Green Communities Tree Program follows the learn-by-doing philosophy of 4-H and is guided by the priorities of the Illinois Forest Action Plan. To help support this project, visit https://go.illinois.edu/4hgreencommunity.

BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 1A WOODLAND SECTIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP – YORKVILLE CHRISTIAN 81, PUTNAM COUNTY 47

By CHARLIE ELLERBROCK

cellerbrock@shawmedia.com RURAL STREATOR – If there had been a poll taken of the capacity crowd in Woodland High School’s jam-packed Warrior Dome on Friday night, it would likely reveal that the Putnam County Panthers would have had to play flawlessly just to stay close to No. 1-seeded Yorkville Christian.

But the Panthers didn’t. They just didn’t.

For the second straight game at the Class 1A Woodland Sectional, the Mustangs used defense to create offense, forcing seven Putnam County turnovers in the first quarter as they raced to a 24-9 advantage. Although the Panthers awoke offensively a bit behind a superb effort by Jackson McDonald, Yorkville Christian forced seven more miscues in the second as it rolled to a 22-point advantage at halftime and ultimately to an 81-47, running-clock victory.

Jaden Schutt led the Mustangs with 21 points, while David Douglas Jr. chipped in 19 – 12 of those coming in the first quarter – to pace the winners. K.J. Vasser netted 18 points and Tyler Burrows 13 for Christian. The Mustangs will take a 22-13 record and an eight-game winning streak into the Normal U-High Supersectional at 6 p.m. Monday against No. 5-seeded Lexington.

The Minutemen took down Decatur St. Teresa, 43-36, in the Watseka Sectional title tilt.

For Putnam County, which finishes 21-15, McDonald capped his junior season with a 25-point night that included six points in the opening period and 13 in the second, when the locals shook off the turnover-caused doldrums and played their best ball of the night.

However, by then a 9-3 burst at the end of the second quarter only got Putnam County as close as 16. Yorkville Christian forced 21 of Putnam County’s 22 turnovers through the first three periods to lead by 33 points heading into the fourth.

“We haven’t shot the ball very well on offense yet this postseason, but our defense has created offense and given us transition buckets, and that’s helped a lot,” Yorkville Christian coach Aaron Sovern said. “It’s been the defense, which I attribute to playing some really tough competition throughout the season, because we saw a lot of that ourselves.

“We definitely tried to make a point of trying to speed [Putnam County] up early to force some turnovers, but when we stopped doing that, they found a hole and got McDonald the ball. He’s a really nice player.

“Believe me, we don’t take this for granted at all because of things like last

year when there were no playoffs. This is huge, we love this, but we don’t have much time to savor it with the short turnaround to Monday. We’re excited and blessed to be where we’re at.”

Picking what aspect of a Mustangs attack that averages about 91 points a game this postseason to try to take away, Putnam County opted to allow the outside shot, but that failed when Yorkville Christian made half of the first six shots from beyond the arc.

Douglas’ big first quarter and 10

points from the Duke signee Schutt in the second helped offset the tremendous inside work by McDonald, who had 19 of his club’s 25 points at intermission.

From there it was more of the same in the third, although the Mustangs stepped up their defense on McDonald, holding him to four points, while finishing off their 10-for-35 night from the arc.

“Of course they try to get you to play too fast,” Putnam County coach Harold Fay said. “We got some good looks in the first half, some of them right there

inside, but we were just going too fast, and unfortunately that’s something you can’t simulate in practice, no matter what you do.

“We just turned the ball over too much. You can’t do that against a team like this, because it’s so fast going back the other way. To slow them down you have to score, and we weren’t able to do that early. Then we got in a hole and tried to force things a little bit.

“But I would take my kids over anybody. We battled and did great. The bar is set. It’s been awhile since Putnam County has reached this point [in the postseason], and now the young kids will see this, see how hard these guys worked and work that hard themselves.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 1A WOODLAND SECTIONAL SEMIFINAL – PUTNAM COUNTY 56, FENGER 46

Putnam County follows its game plan, wins

By BRIAN HOXSEY

bhoxsey@shawmedia.com RURAL STREATOR – In the 1980s TV series “The A-Team,” the leader of the good-guy mercenaries, Colonel John “Hannibal” Smith, always had the last words when his group had finally defeated the bad guys by proclaiming, “I love it when a plan comes together.”

Putnam County coach Harold Fay talked about a few things his club would need to do before Wednesday’s Class 1A Woodland Sectional semifinal against Chicago Fenger to be successful, and the final statistics say the Panthers executed nearly every facet well in a 56-46 victory over the Titans.

The Panthers (21-14) moved into the championship game against Yorkville Christian on Friday, March 4. Fenger ended its season at 17-12.

Fay said his club would need to force Fenger to shoot from the perimeter, rebound the ball well, take care of the ball and keep the tempo of the game at a slower pace.

The Panthers held a 38-28 advantage on the glass, while the Titans hit just 3 of 29 of their 3-pointers and shot 32% overall, while PC connected on 49% of its attempts from the floor. PC, with patience on the offensive end, also held the Titans, who came into the game averaging 72 points per game in the postseason, to 16 at halftime and 30 through three quarters.

“Don’t underestimate how much help I had getting the team ready for tonight,” said Fay, his team using a 1-2-2 zone defense.

“My assistants Mike Moriarty, Jim Vipond and Scott Currie, as well as John Slingsby, did a wonderful job of helping to put a game plan together. We felt like they were coming down here on a twohour bus ride, so we were going to try and make them beat us from the outside. We also knew we’d have to have a strong game rebounding the ball, which I thought we did, and get back quickly on defense to keep them out of transition, which I thought we did.

[Fenger] started to make a few outside shots there toward the end, but we were able to hang on with some good free-throw shooting. The kids played a really good

game and executed everything we had worked on the last two days.”

A layup by Chad Olson and a 3-pointer from the top of the key by Andrew Pyszka started the Panthers – who never trailed in the game – off on the right foot two minutes into the game. Putnam County led 17-14 with just over four minutes before halftime before using a 9-2 run to hold a 26-16 margin at the intermission.

A rebound hoop and layup from Austin Mattingly bookended around five straight points by Jackson McDonald in the burst.

“We spent the last couple practices working against the press they use and what we needed to do to beat it,” McDonald said. “Coach Fay is always telling us, ‘They don’t hand out wins or trophies at halftime’ so we knew we’d have to keep playing the way we were in the second half. We’ve had tendencies to give teams confidence with a slow start in the second half, but I felt like tonight we stayed even keeled the whole game.

“Our coaches put in a lot of research and put together a great scouting report for us coming into tonight. There wasn’t really anything we didn’t know about Fenger, I felt we came in really confident with the knowledge the coaches gave us and our fanbase here was amazing. It was loud in here and that gave us a boost for sure.”

The Panthers led 37-30 heading to the fourth quarter with Mattingly netting five points and McDonald four. PC, behind two baskets from Owen Saepharn and single ones from Pyszka and Wyatt Grimshaw, extended its lead to 45-34 at the five-minute mark.

Fenger rallied to within 47-44 with 1:30 left on 3s by Isaiah Hill and Armani Wilson. But from there the Panthers swished 9 of 10 free throws, five
