Mokena Elementary School Kindergarten Registration Is Open!

Thank you Officer Tom for organizing our participation in the 4th of July parade. Thanks as well to our DARE graduates for participating in the fun.

Watch out for us in the Mokena parade today! Happy 4th of July!

Thank you to Ms. Clifford and our Summer Band for a wonderful concert. They have been working hard this summer and their performance is the proof. We are looking forward to watching them march in the 4th of July Parade next week.

At last night's Board meeting, the Board approved the interim superintendent contract for Steve Stein. Previously, Stein served as the superintendent of Peotone 207-U and Mokena 159, and principal of MES. Welcome back to Mokena! Dr. Johnson will serve as interim July 1-31. Stein will serve beginning August 1.

Today we opened the time capsule that the students and staff of Mokena 159 buried under the Playscape in 1997. We had so much fun looking at all of the treasures left inside 27 years ago!

We are holding a brief "Meet & Greet" with our incoming interim superintendent immediately following Monday's 6:00 pm Special Board Meeting. We hope you can join us!

MES is HIRING! Please spread the word!

On the last day of school, MES students cheered on the 3rd graders during a Clap Out! Good luck at MIS!

Angler club members had a blast this school year!

Prek party fun! 🥰

Ms. Uva's and Ms. Ancira's classes won the annual 4th grade wiffle ball tournament at their class day at the park!

The 8th grade dance last Friday was a night for the memory books! Good luck in high school!
