ROCKFORD, Ill. – Highlighting his focus on education, state Rep. Maurice West II, D-Rockford, recently visited Cherry Valley Elementary to meet with students and teachers.

“As one of the newest schools in our area, it was interesting to see new concepts and technology being used at Cherry Valley Elementary to teach children,” West said. “It’s also exciting to meet with enthusiastic teachers and leaders who want to unlock the potential of every student they engage.”

West had the opportunity to tour Cherry Valley Elementary with Principal Carolyn Timm, RPS 205 Board Member Anthony Dixon and two fifth grade students.
