Two outstanding Willow School teachers — Amy Brecheisen in kindergarten and Anne Wallace in first grade — received Those Who Excel honors from the Illinois State Board of Education.
Brecheisen has been teaching for 17 years. She is a product of District 153 schools and Homewood-Flossmoor High School. When she went to Butler University for her bachelor’s degree, she knew she’d go into teaching. She got her job at Willow immediately after earning her degree.
