Mokena Elementary School

Kindergarten classrooms were revamped this summer! Check out the colorful accent walls in each room!

Our Building Leadership Teams came together as a district team to collaboratively learn about levers of improvement, analyze school data, and create goals and action plans for this upcoming school year. We are very fortunate to have this great group of teachers and administrators focused on continuous improvement for each school!

Don't forget about the kindergarten play date tomorrow hosted by the Mokena 159 PTA!

Mrs. Dare's first grade went on a field trip to Plum Creek. Students had a fun time being centipedes, spiders, and opossums. They took a moment to listen to all the wonderful sounds on our nature walk. Students rolled down a big hill after lunch and got to meet Bluey, a blue tongued skink all the way from Australia!

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Mokena 159!
