Wheatlands Elementary in West Aurora celebrate teacher retiring after 34 years

05/13/2026

Today, The Wheatlands Elementary School had the incredible honor of celebrating Mrs. Julie Siebel and her amazing 23 year career of inspiring young minds, supporting children, and making a lasting impact through her kindness, compassion, and unwavering dedication to kids.

As part of today’s celebration, WGN News completed a special flyover of The Wheatlands to recognize Julie’s career and legacy. It created such a special moment for our students, staff, families, and community to come together and celebrate someone who has meant so much to so many.

Julie’s heart for children and the relationships she has built over the years have helped shape generations of Wolves, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she has given to our school community.

Thank you to everyone who was able to share in this unforgettable moment with us today. Please enjoy some memories from this very special celebration! 💙🐺
