4th grade students are completing their Module 1 ELA Performance Task in which they synthesized their learning about what inspires poets to write poetry by presenting their own original poems inspired by something meaningful to them, along with a speech, including supporting visuals, about what inspired their poem and where you can see evidence of this in their poem. Amazing work, Rockets!
Looking to clean out your closet?! Donate old sneakers to any of our Mokena 159 schools from November 6th-14th with your child's PE teacher. All donations from Project Kix will benefit our Wheelchair Basketball Fundraiser with LWSRA. Thank you so much for your generosity!
All three Mokena 159 schools are working together to celebrate and honor our Veterans! All money raised will go directly to Honor Flight Chicago.
