Katrina Farris, Director of Early Childhood at Mattoon CUSD #2 recently collaborated with DCFS to provide car seats for families in need. The car seats are part of a grant with IDOT to be used for installation with any nationally certified car seat technician.
Farris also presented about the classes she provides through the Mattoon Public Library Literacy Grant that provides parenting classes through the Illinois State Library grant. Additionally, she was able to present information on our FREE Birth-3 Program.
We'd like to thank Ms. Farris and everyone involved in this for the difference they are making in our community!

Ms. McCoy's class at Williams Elementary has been working all year on a monthly podcast called, "Happy Habits". You can find it on Spotify. They highlight one habit per month and it features a new group of 5-6 students each time. ALL students have made an appearance on the podcast and are now circling back for round 2! The kids recently came up with the idea of wanting to share their podcast with the community.
For Leader In Me's Global Leadership Celebration Day, each student created 3 bookmarks, and on the back of these bookmarks, provided a QR code that will link readers in the community to their podcast. It also lists an email for readers to send a review or a request for a podcast episode. Students visited the Mattoon Public Library and chose 3 books to put the bookmarks into. Check out the link to the podcast with the link below:
