All of our schools had the opportunity to see our eclipse yesterday. Mrs. Sawyer's enrichment class took a special trip to Paris, Illinois to be in the path of totality. This was an incredible learning opportunity that was a first for a lot of our students!

Today is National School Librarian Day. Make sure we all give them a special thanks for everything they do! Without them we wouldn't have our beautiful libraries or endless recommendations of books.
Today is Paraprofessional Appreciation Day. Paraprofessionals do a little of everything in our schools. They support classes, are assigned to specific students in special education, help with supporting the general running of the school, and help supervise students.
At this Music Festival, the students performed their set of songs at Eastern Illinois University for a panel of distinguished musical clinicians. The clinicians provided invaluable feedback to the students on their music as well as a 30 minute clinic. Afterwards, the students were an audience to several other performances by other surrounding schools before departing for home.
