We join the community in honoring the life and legacy of Audrey Keaton-Mock, who dedicated more than 30 years of service to @u@unit4schools. A passionate advocate for children, Mrs. Mock championed literacy and organized book and coat drives to support young people and families. She also organized and directed Black History Month youth choirs featuring students from Dr. Howard Elementary School, Booker T. Washington STEM Academy, and Garden Hills Academy, bringing students together through music while celebrating Black history and culture. Her unwavering commitment to Champaign-Urbana schools and the children she served leaves a lasting legacy. We are grateful for the countless lives she touched and the love she poured into our community.
What happens when you connect students with people who have knowledge, experience, and a passion to share? The CUSF Wisdom Network connects community members with classrooms to share their experiences, careers, talents, and perspectives with students.

Honoring the legacy of late Illinois State Senator Scott Bennett, the Be Like Bennett Grant supports educators creating opportunities for students to find their voices, build community, and make a difference. -Ms. Spencer’s “Be a Problem Solver” project will have students identify real community issues, develop solutions, and travel to Springfield to share their ideas with state legislators. -Mr. Young-Eleazar’s “Our Sixth Grade Center Anthem” project will bring students and community members together to create an original school anthem inspired by their hopes for the future. Congratulations to both educators and to the students who will bring these ideas to life! @urbana116
