Lake Bluff Limelight: Meet Our Exceptional Lake Bluff Staff! 

At Lake Bluff Elementary School District 65, our staff members are the heart and soul of our educational community. Join us in celebrating their inspiring stories and remarkable achievements in our Staff Spotlight series.

Today, we're highlighting Denise Salit, K-2 Reading Specialist at LBES. Ms. Salit has been with Lake Bluff District 65 for 22 years! Let's get to know her:

 What motivated you to become a teacher?

"Although I considered other careers at some point in college I realized that teaching was really what I was meant to do."

 Can you share words of advice or wisdom with our students/families?

"'If children are apparently unable to lead, we should assume that we have not yet found the right way to teach them.' Quote by Marie Clay"

 When you aren't at school, what are you most likely doing?

"With my family and dogs. Seeing a Broadway show or binge watching a TV show."

 When you were younger, how did you answer the question, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?'

"Tricky… I really wanted to be a talk show host."

Thank you, Denise! Your dedication, passion, and commitment to our students make a world of difference every day.
