A group of 8th graders participated in Student Government Day yesterday by engaging in hands-on experiences to learn about our village's government. They spent time with village trustees learning about planning, budgeting, and what each department does. They had an amazing tour of the new police station and then participated in a mock village board meeting. Thank you to the Mokena village for supporting this wonderful opportunity for our students!
Friendly reminder, tomorrow is an early dismissal day!
Congratulations to the 7th Grade Monthly Medalists!
