The Mokena VFW will be collecting Toys for the local families in need through the Frankfort Township Food Pantry this Holiday Season. Unwrapped, new toys can be dropped off at The Mokena VFW on 19852 Wolf Road from 12:00-6:00 pm from November 19th – December 13th!

Ready Set Goal! 4th graders have been learning about goal setting as part of our Second Step SEL program. This week, they applied their knowledge about the goal setting process through a challenge to see how many cups each group could stack by only using rubber bands and string, not their hands! Each group set a 10 minute goal, created an action plan, checked their progress midway through, and reflected on how things went.

Today is Illinois School Board Members Day! Join us in thanking our seven Board members for their dedication of time and service to our students, staff, and community. #ThankABoardMember #IllinoisAssociationofSchoolBoards

We had a great time last night at our district ELL Family Festival! Thank you to all of our families that attended and to our ELL team that planned and put on the event!
