Students in 7th and 8th grade Science met Lab Safety Lola today. She's not a great role model, but I think they still learned a few things from her.




Bus 3 for Illini is running about 5-10 minutes behind this morning.

Reminder: Wednesday, August 20th is early dismissal. Grant will be dismissed at 1:20 & Illini will be dismissed at 1:50. We will have early dismissal every Wednesday.

Today was Lodge Induction and Cabin Bootcamp Day.









Our eighth graders stepped up and owned their mentorship roles today. They welcomed 5th-7th graders to their lodges. Our staff worked to make it a great day, and it truly was a great first Friday back.










We want to say a huge thank you to SA Troop 585 of Fairview Heights for their additions to Ella’s butterfly garden this summer. They raised money for a custom wooden sign, a picnic table, and supplies to make benches and raised beds. They worked hard in the summer heat putting it all together and staining! We are looking forward to planting in the new beds this fall. Awesome job and thanks for helping our garden grow!

Thanks to everyone joining our fundraising at Raising Cane's today!


Don't forget today Grant will be holding a Fundraiser at Cane's. All proceeds will go towards the Lodge Program this year.

Had some new and returning volunteers working hard this week to complete the first part of Ella’s memorial garden. Found some interesting items as we prepared the beds! We also added some painted stones our students made. Ms. McCarthy worked hard bordering the bed with donated stones. Thanks to all who helped make this happen!











Thank you Student Council! Field Day was a huge success!






Great celebration at Illini today.









Former students of Ms. Jobe's came by to thank her and wish her well. She has touched so many lives over the past 36 years and will be dearly missed.
