Mattoon Supervisors from both Riddle and Williams Elementary Schools recently met to participate in a de-escalation training provided by Kendra Rogers from EIASE.
Paras also attended in a separate group. A shout-out to EIASE for helping with this training.
A shout-out to The Fellowship Center for their recent donation. They held a collection for school supplies for students in need at our elementary schools. We appreciate their donation and thoughtfulness. 🫶
6th grade students at MMS recently participated in a gummy bear lab. They created a hypothesis stating which solution they thought would help the gummy bear grow the most (Sprite, salt water, sugar water, vinegar water, or plain water). They ran an experiment, analyzed their data, came to a conclusion, and had a lot of fun doing so!
Shout-out to Justrite in Mattoon for once again blessing the MHS Pantry with such generosity! This year's gift is 30 cases of water and a check for $800.00! MHS values the partnership with Justrite. Their continued support of our staff and students is heartwarming. 🫶
