Congratulations to Evelin from Miss Weber's 1st/2nd Grade Classroom at Riddle Elementary! She was the Positive Leadership drawing Winner in Mr. Niemerg's 1st Quarter Art Class!
Each day in art class Mr. Niemerg picks two mystery students and if
those two students demonstrate Positive Leadership they are entered into
a school wide drawing. Each Quarter a winner is drawn. Evelin was then
asked what her favorite things were and that was the prize she received! Evelin loves Kit Kats, Garlic bread, and Blue Gatorade!

Mattoon Middle School is creating a Makerspace in the Media Center!
Makerspaces provide hands-on, creative ways to encourage students to design, experiment, build and invent as they engage in classroom curriculum.
This space is designed to accommodate a wide range of activities, tools, and materials including a laser-engraver, embroidery machine, and sublimation printer. We can't wait to see all of the amazing projects and creations designed in this space. The Makerspace will be maintained by the STEAM Club and Mass Media class.
We are asking for donations of consumable items for our Makerspace. Donations can be dropped off to the MMS main office anytime during the school year. We appreciate all of your support in creating this space for our students!
