6 members of Educators Rising traveled to Southeastern Illinois College in Harrisburg on Monday to compete in several events hosted by the Southern IL Future Teacher Coalition. JHS Ed Rising brought home two 1st place plaques in Teaching on the Fly! and Character Performance. We are so proud of our students' accomplishments! Congratulate these kiddos for helping us #elevate38 !
Katie has read a new book every week, and Neveah has completed a 16-book series from the library. As a prize for all their reading success, they received bags filled with a book, snacks, and a drink. We are so proud of their love for books and reading! 📚✨

To help ensure everyone has the opportunity to enjoy breakfast before the start of the school day, we are pleased to offer cereal as a daily option in the Miller Cafe. While a warm breakfast will always be available, students and staff are welcome to choose cereal if they prefer. This provides a flexible and convenient option to meet a variety of preferences while making sure everyone starts their day nourished and ready to learn.
This testing is for students in grades 3–8 only.

K-5 students learned about Henri Matisse this week. He is best known for using vibrant, expressive color and line movement to show emotion. He was one of the first in the Fauvist movement to use "wild beast" colors. He later became known for his paper cutouts (gouaches découpés) and ornate but happy compositions. Matisse is a leader in color and form, some of his best-known works are The Dance, The Red Studio, and his late-life cutouts like Icarus. This exercise in dexterity, patience and only using paper and scissors like a paintbrush or pencil was very challenging but enjoyable
