This weeks Staff Spotlight features Mrs. Kapp and Mrs. Ortiz. Thank you for all you do!


We were thrilled to welcome Judge Rudolf from the Illinois Judges Association (through the St. Clair County Judiciary), who presented “The Worries of the World Wide Web” to our 5th–8th graders. Students engaged in meaningful conversations about social media, technology use, and online safety, while also learning why technology is an important tool for learning and communication when used responsibly. Thank you to our social worker Mrs. V for organizing this session!

Last Wednesday Mrs. Brown’s Pre-K class had quite the excitement! Their gingerbread cookie that was brought in for snack escaped, and led the class on a wild chase through the room following clues! After they found their surprise book, gingerbread stuffy and fresh cookies to eat, they made gingerbread houses of their own! They ran, ran, as fast as they could! They didn’t catch him, but the cookies were good! ❤️💚
