MES first graders are thriving as they embrace independent reading! Their reading stamina is growing and so is their love of books. Keep up the great work, Stars! ⭐ ❤️ 📖

3rd graders recently brainstormed how they can show kindness to others!

The Star Classroom at MES took their first field trip to Navarro Farm in Frankfort. Students were able to interact with animals, explore the gardens, walk through a corn maze, and have a picnic lunch. 🐓🐖🚜🌾

Friendly reminder: no school tomorrow!

Happy Halloween from Mokena 159 teachers and staff!

These MES students are too ghoul for school! 👻

Kindergarten students have been busy practicing their speaking and listening skills. Recently, they shared what they learned as an interviewer about their classmates’ interests when playing with toys.
