Our 21 Summer Sparks rocketry students launched their rockets yesterday for their families, classmates, and staff! Each student built their own rocket throughout the week while learning principles of flight and physics. We hope the experience and thrill of seeing their creation fly has ignited a lifelong interest in STEM!
THANK YOU to our Summer Sparks teachers: Mrs. Storino, Ms. Kelly, Mr. Vroom, Mrs. Horsch, and Mrs. Kocher! We very much appreciate your time and talents making our summer enrichment classes full of learning, fun, and memories for our students!
Our volleyball and badminton students had a great last day! Special shoutout to badminton students Ayden (singles champion) and Claudia & Ella (doubles champions)!
Rocketry students are getting ready for the big launch tomorrow by practicing altitude measurements using an altimeter, documenting data, and preparing parachutes for their rockets!
Save the date for the 2026-2027 Back-to- School Events!

The Mokena Junior High School PE Uniform store is now open until July 13th. Visit https://bsnteamsports.com/shop/eThtjc86uj to order.
The t-shirts and shorts are mandatory as they are the official uniform for PE class. The additional offered apparel is optional. We allow the additional apparrel to be worn in place of the t-shirts and shorts when desired. These options are convenient when the weather starts to get chilly. The bag (also optional) is helpful for students to bring their clothes home to wash over weekends and breaks.
Students who still have a uniform that fits them from previous years are welcome to continue to use it.
Please make sure you write your child's first and last name when filling out the form, not your own. This helps make the distribution process easier to manage. In addition, pay close attention when choosing the size (youth vs adult).
Uniforms will be passed out during the first week of school.
