In September, Willowbrook alumna Shannon McGrann (class of 2021), who is a teacher at Dr. Williams Elementary School in Urbana School District 116, received a visit from members of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Fighting Illini Football Team.

The football players presented McGrann with a $1,000 check for her classroom, after she was nominated by administers and staff members at her school. The team also made another $1,000 donation to support the school and its students.

During her time at Willowbrook, McGrann was part of the Little Warrior Preschool program (read more about the program at https://www.dupage88.net/site/page/17439), which helped her on her career path to becoming an educator.
