The 2024-25 school year is just a week away and for families starting kindergarten, it can be a time full of emotions for parents! Thankfully the Maercker PTA has you covered with a Tears & Cheers breakfast at Holmes after drop-off on the first day of school in the cafeteria.
Please welcome Subhadra Swain to the Maercker D60 team! Subhadra will be an Instructional Assistant at Maercker Intermediate School who says she wanted to work in education to have the ability to help students grow and achieve their dreams. She is a parent in the district and her son has been a student since kindergarten.
“I am excited to encourage students to ask questions, solve problems, and look for answers,” said Subhadra. “I tell people to never be afraid to ask questions, because if you don't, how will you reach your goals?”
Welcome Subhadra!

We are excited to welcome some awesome new teachers to the Maercker D60 team!
Katelyn Scacco will be teaching second grade at Holmes and says she chose Maercker because it felt like a welcoming and supportive environment. She is passionate about working with kids and helping them to explore, be curious, and discover their full potential.
“Since I was fifteen, I’ve had many different opportunities working in various childcare positions through my local park district,” said Katelyn. “These opportunities have fostered an appreciation for childhood development and witnessing children's growth and learning firsthand ignited my passion for education. I am eager to contribute to the formative years of young minds and inspire a lifelong love of learning!”
Welcome Katelyn!
