Kindergarten students have been reading and writing all about toys and play in their ELA module! Students used their learning to imagine, draw, and build a new toy using recycled and scrap materials! We are so proud of their imaginations and creativity and can't wait to see the finished products!

It is amazing what we can do when we come together as a community! Last night's "Volley for the Cure" event was a huge success as we raised funds for Mokena's Cancer Support Center! Thank you to our students and families that came out and cheered us on, our staff members who played and helped run the event, our local first responders who gave us some tough competition, and the athletic boosters that ran concessions! A special shoutout of gratitude to Mrs. Michelle Matt who coordinated and organized the event!

Great work to our newest Stars!

It is the last week of National Attendance Month! An absence here and there adds up, sometimes without even realizing it. Use this stoplight and attendance tracker to keep track of your child's attendance throughout the year. Let's work together to make each day count.

September is National Attendance Awareness Month! Did you know the state of Illinois considers students who miss 10% or more of the school year chronically absent? This includes both unexcused and excused absences. Chronic absenteeism counts towards 20% of each of our school's state report card designation because being at school is that important! We know sometimes challenges come up like illness or family emergencies, but when possible, please make school a priority and encourage your child to be here each day. Thank you for partnering with us; together we can make sure every student is present, engaged, and on the path to success!
