HOUSE RESOLUTION

  
 
2
    WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of 
3
Representatives are pleased to congratulate Sister Carolyn 
4
Sieg, principal of St. Joan of Arch School in Lisle, on being 
5
awarded the inaugural Bishop Kaffer Outstanding Principal 
6
Award; and
  
 
7
    WHEREAS, She was nominated by Father Gabriel Baltes of St. 
8
Joan of Arc Catholic Church in Lisle; he was prompted to 
9
nominate her based on her passion, boundless energy, and 
10
exemplary faith leadership as a principal; and
  
 
11
    WHEREAS, Sister Carolyn is a Benedictine sister of Sacred 
12
Heart Monastery in Lisle; she has served as principal for the 
13
past 42 years, was a teacher at the school before serving as 
14
its principal, and was a student at the school as a child; and
  
 
15
    WHEREAS, One of Sister Carolyn's main goals as principal 
16
was to change the perception of the principal's office; instead 
17
of children dreading a trip to the office for disciplinary 
18
actions, now they are sent there for praise; and
  
 
19
    WHEREAS, Sister Carolyn will receive the award on April 29, 
20
2010 at the Principals' Meeting and Awards Breakfast hosted by 
21
Lewis University; and
