Mokena School District 159

Last Friday Mrs. Arduino's first graders shared their final EL project. The students wrote an adjective that describes birds and facts that support it. Students also made bird savers of a favorite bird. They are meant to be put in a window to save birds from crashing into it!

Thank you to everyone that came out for the One Last Play on the wooden playscape! We had a blast and it was a wonderful way to cap off a wonderful almost three decades with the playground! Thanks for organizing, Mokena PTA!
