Mokena Elementary School

Congratulations to our ISBE Those Who Excel award recipients! Israel Smith - community member, Nisrin Al-Tikriti - early career educator, and Dr. Michael Rolinitis - MJHS Principal!

Today we celebrated "unBEElievable" mentoring partnerships! Thank you to our mentor teachers who provided guidance and support to our new staff members this school year!

3rd graders visited MIS yesterday to learn all about what to expect next school year! Huge shoutout to the PBIS Ambassadors and Student Council for their help acting as tour guides and for sharing their experiences with the incoming students!

Last Friday Mrs. Arduino's first graders shared their final EL project. The students wrote an adjective that describes birds and facts that support it. Students also made bird savers of a favorite bird. They are meant to be put in a window to save birds from crashing into it!

Thank you to everyone that came out for the One Last Play on the wooden playscape! We had a blast and it was a wonderful way to cap off a wonderful almost three decades with the playground! Thanks for organizing, Mokena PTA!

Happy Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week! 🎉 Let's start the celebration with a Virtual Applause Parade and show our staff some love! Let’s see how many 👏 we can get by the end of the day!

Save the date for these exciting events out on by our incredible PTA!

Friendly reminder: tomorrow is an early dismissal day!
