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!
Happy Staff Appreciation Week! Today we wear blue to celebrate our administrators, office staff, and nurses!
Don't forget...

MES Principal for the Day Cryan did a wonderful job in her new role on Friday! She did the annoucements, read to kindergarteners, helped with lunch, shared ideas with Mrs. Levy, met with District Office staff members, toured the kitchen , and helped with the second grade Ladies We Love event to name a few of her accomplishments. By the end of the day, Mrs. Chorley proclaimed she should have taken the day off because Principal Cryan could do it all!
Second grade students hosted a wonderful "Ladies We Love" event today! The afternoon was all about honoring the women who inspire, support, and uplift our students every day. A big thank you to everyone who joined us and to our students and teachers for putting so much care into celebrating the ladies who mean so much to them!
Join us next week in celebrating our AMAZING staff members with a Staff Appreciation Spirit Week! Dress in a different color each day to show your gratitude throughout the week!
