Mrs. Witsman's Computer Applications class went to MCES today to read their children's stories to K-2nd Grade!
Great news!!! Our school just received two new bottle fillers as a part of the H2O on the Go grant from the Delta Dental Foundation of Illinois and Illinois Children's Healthcare Foundation. The purpose of the grant is to prevent tooth decay, which is the leading chronic disease among children. The water bottle-filling stations encourage consumption, helping lessen tooth decay, aiding in reducing obesity, increasing energy levels and improving students’ attention span and ability to learn. As a part of the grant, each student had the opportunity to get a Green Reusable Bottle and a toothbrush. It was great to see how many students were using the water bottle and one student simply said, "The bottle and the bottle filler makes drinking water so convenient."
This message is for all parents who purchased Chromebook insurance at the beginning of the year. Most high school students received a new touch screen Chromebook recently and we just wanted to let you know that we have submitted the new serial numbers for the new devices to schooldevicecoverage.com. That means that there is nothing you need to do at this time to update that information. If your child receives a different Chromebook that was not part of the mass distribution, please make sure you update that information directly with schooldevicecoverage.com. If you have any questions, feel free to call the school at 618-262-5104.
