On Monday, May 13, 2024, Riddle Elementary School hosted its first STEAM Family Night! Families were able to participate in a variety of activities that utilized the Engineering Design Process to solve a problem. The activities were led by the Riddle STEAM Club, which is a group of fourth and fifth grade students, who display leadership qualities and strive for academic excellence. At the close of the evening, a Sphero Mini STEAM Kit was raffled to families, and the winner was Maxine Elder, a second grade student in Mrs. Boyer's classroom. Fun was had by all as they used their critical thinking skills to problem solve! ✨👨👩👧👦🔧
The Mattoon Police Department's Union recently gave a generous donation to Franklin Preschool's Summer Backpack Food Program. Returning Franklin families who signed up for the program, will receive food in June and July.🥫

The Eastern Illinois Area of Special Education Recycling Program is an opportunity for students with various ability levels to come together and gain work experience. This program is designed to teach students skills they can use in the workplace or in their everyday lives after finishing high school. This past year, we had three MHS students that attended three days a week. ♻️
Shout out to EIASE Recycling Coordinator Heather Hughes who organized the celebration. 🎉

Williams Elementary students in Ms. McCoy’s classroom took on a courtyard renovation project this past semester, working to bring more color and fun to the space. Students came up with the idea of a sensory corner, new signage, a lending library, new seating, and more. After drafting a plan, they were overwhelmed by the outpouring of support they received. A student from the Manufacturing, Architecture, Construction, and Electrical class at LIFT constructed a “Busy Board” for the sensory area. The Lake Land College Print Shop worked on the signage, took students for a tour of the printing facility, and donated a portion of the costs. The MHS Welding class provided lawn ornaments they had created, and several parents donated time and books for the lending library. Plants were also purchased from the MHS Ag Plant Sale to help give the space new life. 🌸📚
We are proud of the leadership and initiative the students took to not just discuss and dream about improvements, but to put in the work to make it happen. Their hope behind the project is to provide another option for students wanting to extend beyond the classroom walls for years to come. We would also like to thank the many people who helped make this project possible! 🌱🌿
Sophia Seba, Violet Weddle, Isolde Veach, and KaMiah Browder from Riddle Elementary School were recently chosen as art scholarship recipients to receive art supplies.
