This week is National Library Week and today is also National School Librarian Day. Today we will be highlighting the Librarians in our District to show our thankfulness for all they do for our kids!
First up, we want to say thank you to James Sledge who works at Mattoon High School.
"As Covid protocols have lightened, the library has been busier than ever. We have a steady stream of students all day, every day. The kids come to the library to work on coursework, to meet with Learning Lab teachers, to check out books and read, or occasionally enjoy games with classmates. We have several chess boards including one 8’ by 8’ MEGA chess set. Even though we’ve entered the digital age, one to one technology with Chromebooks, the kids have checked out physical books by the hundreds this year. We provide them with the newest titles as well as old favorites. If we don’t have what they’re looking for we can get it for them. I’ve really enjoyed and appreciated having the kids return and seeing their faces and knowing that they still love the library." - James Sledge

The Mattoon High School Drama Club presents “Disco Inferno” on March 31st and April 1st at the MHS gymnasium.
Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for kids.
“Disco Inferno,” is a book by Justin Sepple. In the promotional material for the play, “Three words that describe this stylized musical would be Faust with Flare. With its retro setting, “Disco Inferno” oozes nostalgia and inspires smiles to hustle their way into audience members’ faces. If you love the 1970s, then you’ll love this riotous trip back to the decade that brought us flared trousers, platform shoes and glitter. In “Disco Inferno,” the story of Faust is brought back to life in an explosion of hit songs and high-energy dance routines.”

Friday Feel Good!
Tami Sander's Wave Time Class at MHS put together a project recently to give back to the community. They decided to do a pallet wood project since they had plenty of resources available to use at the high school. They created and designed decorations to sell, voting to give proceeds to One-Stop Community Christmas.
The class was able to present a $250 check to One-Stop! We are thankful for their hard work and thoughtfulness.
