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!
