Welcome Back from Break! We are in the final stretch of the second quarter. Students often get excited looking forward to winter break, but there is a lot of learning that takes place between now and then. Encourage children to buckle down for the last month of the quarter!
Happy Thanksgiving, Mokena 159 families! We’re thankful for you!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break!
Happy Thanksgiving from MJHS!
We want to remind everyone that the offices will close on Tuesday, November 22nd at 3:30 PM and will not reopen until Monday, November 28th at 7:30 AM.
The Marching Meteors braved the cold in Mokena’s Parade of Lights on Saturday night!
It was so cold the brass instrument valves & slides froze so the band couldn’t play, but the kids did a great job on the drum cadence & looked amazing down marching down the street. 🥶🥁🎺🎷
Today is substitute appreciation day! We are so thankful for each and every one of our amazing subs!
Come cheer on our 6th grade girls team in the Conference Tournament! The girls play at 5:00 tonight!
