Day 1 of our Young Athletes Culminating Event was a huge success! Our athletes showed us their skills and character trying out each of the six events. Thank you to our MES and MIS students for lining the sidewalk to cheer on our athletes, our student council helpers, our families who joined in on the fun, our teachers and staff for all of their planning and help, and to our special guests Officer Tom, Board Members Jim and Julie, the Special Olympics of Illinois Team, and staff from our local state representative's office! A fun day was had by all and we couldn't be more proud of our atheletes!

As our 8th grade students wrap up their last month in Mokena SD 159, we asked them to submit a shoutout to a staff member who has had an impact on them during their time in the district. In honor of Staff Appreciation Week, we will be sharing some of these shoutouts throughout the week to celebrate the influence our staff members have had on our students over the last nine years!

Two of our seventh grade scientists were featured in the Illinois State Board of Education's "Photo of the Week" as part of their weekly message/newsletter sent to educators across the state!
