District 88 names April Business Partner

During its April 28 meeting, the District 88 Board of Education, along with the administration, named Simon Kringas (owner of Simon’s Restaurant) as a Business Partner. The Business Partner program acknowledges companies, organizations and individuals for their support in building futures for District 88 students and helping to accomplish the district’s mission and vision.

Kringas is a prime example of an individual and company working with District 88 to achieve its goals. Kringas is always willing to support the district’s events and students and is a tremendous advocate of District 88 and Willowbrook High School. 

Whenever asked to provide a donation for district or community fundraisers, Kringas can always be counted on to generously say yes. And when the district requests that messages highlighting successes and district news be posted on the electronic marquee outside his restaurant, Kringas takes the time to promote students and events to help share the information and keep residents informed.

But what’s most impressive about Kringas is his positive attitude and friendly demeanor. He could be in the middle of lunchtime rush, with employees and customers needing his attention, and he never hesitates to take a few minutes to meet and hear how he can help the District 88 learning community – and he does it with a smile.
