Mokena School District 159

Thank you to everyone that came out to the Grinch themed basketball game last night! Our athletic boosters are the best!

Kinderbuddies wrote letters to Santa and made an elf craft this morning!

Friendly reminder: tomorrow is an early dismissal day!

Congratulations to Autumn Chlebek! Her unique design was selected for the 8th grade class t-shirt. The Mokena PTA generously pays for the t-shirts so that every student can have one and feel like part of the 8th grade team!

Our 8th Grade STEM course is cultivating future electrical engineers! These students are working hard to use integrated circuit chips connected to breadboards to digitally control a motor's spin rate and direction.

1st graders took a trip into space this week by visiting the StarLab at MES! This experience supported the learning in their ELA module: The Sun, Moon, and Stars. It was out of this world!

On Friday, November 17, MES celebrated Kindness Day and wore pink in honor of Addy, a first grader who passed away earlier this year! Classes worked on notes to pass out to friends and family to express kindness and gratitude and talked about how to spread kindness.

The first session of walking club at MES has come to an end! See you in the spring!

MIS Student Council organized a paper foods drive for the Manteno Veterans Home! Thank you for donating! 💕

Today is Substitute Educators Day! We have the BEST subs! Thank you for everything you do for our students!

Veterans Day assemblies last Friday at MES welcomed in 100 veterans and their guests!  The flags that lined the walkway represent our veterans who couldn’t attend or are no longer with us. The flags were donated by mokena lions club!

Thank you to everyone who came to the ribbon cutting ceremony for the playground this afternoon!
