We are excited to have not only 1, but 2 Mokena SD 159 success story presentations at this year's Joint Annual Conference!
Watch out for us in the Mokena parade today! Happy 4th of July!
At last night's Board meeting, the Board approved the interim superintendent contract for Steve Stein. Previously, Stein served as the superintendent of Peotone 207-U and Mokena 159, and principal of MES. Welcome back to Mokena!
Dr. Johnson will serve as interim July 1-31. Stein will serve beginning August 1.
Today we opened the time capsule that the students and staff of Mokena 159 buried under the Playscape in 1997. We had so much fun looking at all of the treasures left inside 27 years ago!
We are holding a brief "Meet & Greet" with our incoming interim superintendent immediately following Monday's 6:00 pm Special Board Meeting. We hope you can join us!
On the last day of school, MES students cheered on the 3rd graders during a Clap Out! Good luck at MIS!
Prek party fun! 🥰
1st grade here they come! We are so proud of our Kindergarteners and all they have learned together this year!
