Over 6 TONS of food and supplies were delivered Wednesday for the Wildcat Den. This is through a partnership with the Eastern Illinois Area Foodbank.

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow (Friday, September 23) is picture day at Williams Elementary School. #MCUSD2 #Mattoon #WilliamsElementary

Franklin Preschool had their first family night last Thursday. Students and families enjoyed an "Encanto Sing-A-Long," as well as popcorn for the movie. Students were also able to take home a take-and-make instrument. This helped the preschoolers learn about "Habit 7- Sharpening the Saw." It also helped to teach families "Habit 6-Synergize" and how to work together. Student leaders also helped to be door greeters, and snack helpers. #MCUSD2 #Mattoon #FranklinPreschool

Students in Mrs.Wetzel’s 1st grade class at Williams made shape pizzas recently. Students had to build their own pizzas and add toppings of their choice. Then they had to count the number of each variety of topping and fill out a chart. Such a fun way to learn! #MCUSD2
