“It’s been nearly a decade since the region’s last significant drought in 2012 brought broiling temperatures, withered vegetation and parched, cracked soil. Chicago’s precipitation for all of 2012 totaled just 26.91 inches, and the area was locked in moderate to severe drought much of the summer and fall. The warm dry pattern began with a remarkable March 2012 that featured eight days in the 80s, followed by a very hot summer with 46 days of 90-degree plus heat that included four days with triple-digit highs. The drought quickly vanished in 2013, which logged more rain through June 30 (28.46 inches) than fell in all of 2012.” Tom Skilling, WGN-TV chief meteorologist

It’s not going to be a very in-depth installation in terms of the amount of plays, amount of formations, shifts and motions and that sort of thing, but I want to see him (show) those building blocks of becoming a starting quarterback in the league.”
“We want to help kids realize there are things you encountered that you thought you weren’t going to get past, but you did make it through,” Gillett said. “It’s really important, as I’ve learned from working with all of these psychologists, for kids to be able to tell their own story and have that vocabulary to say, ‘There was something hard and I made it through.’ So that when they go forward and experience any number of challenges, they have that in their memories to say, ‘Oh yeah, but that was hard and I made it through that. I can do it again.’ You have agency here. You have been really brave. Those are skills that are going to equip you in really powerful ways as you move forward.”
