Winter break is here! ❄️❄️
The junior high hosted a fantastic holiday celebration for our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders this morning! There were performances by the bands, orchestras, choir and poms as well as a sing-a-long. We even had a visit from a special someone from the North Pole!
Our principals wish you a wonderful holiday season! Who do you think has the best spirit? 🎄 🎁 ❄️
Mrs. Martin's 8th grade US History classes created famous landmarks with a gingerbread-house twist! Can you guess what they are?
Our 8th graders are applying their learned math skills to solve holiday logic puzzles!
Our Sixth graders are putting the finishing touches on their catapults as they gear up for their competition tomorrow. Some have loved adding a little holiday cheer as they learn about potential and kinetic energy!
Congratulations to MJHS students Emeline H., Amelia H., and Zach J., for having their narrative writing esssays featured at the December Board of Education meeting. Their creativity and craft were apparent as they read their stories aloud. We are surely growing future authors in our classrooms!
Tonight is the night! Join us for the Mokena Junior High School Winter Concert at 7pm!
The inaugural issue of the new district newsletter, Mokena Moments, is now available! Check your email or our website to read it.
Our 6th graders brought Chapter 3 of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry to life through the Sketch and Tell EduProtocol! Students demonstrated their comprehension and analysis skills by creating drawings and providing explanations of key themes. Adding an extra layer of creativity, we experimented with AI art tools to help visualize the scenes. A perfect blend of classic literature, artistic expression, and modern technology!
Thank you to the Mokena 159 PTA for a festive family event today! From the tasty breakfast to the fun crafts and of course time with Santa, fun was had by all!
Today's the day! We hope to see you at the Mokena PTA Santa Breakfast!
