Now that summer break is over, youโre probably getting back into the school-year routine. Itโs a great time to remember the importance of breakfast. Studies show students who eat breakfast are more likely to pay attention in class, have stronger memories, and get better test scores. Get ideas to start their day off right with the link below from our friends at Aramark.

According to the Mattoon Police Department, the Marshall Ave railroad tracks will be closed from Friday the 9th through Wednesday the 14th. We felt it important to share this information out with our families as many use this route to and from school.

Ashley Armstrong playing her harp in Mrs. Schafer's 2/3 grade class at Williams Elementary.
The class has a behavioral incentive program where students earn "Schafer Bucks". They can buy prizes from a list of options and Ashley selected Show & Tell because she wanted to share her passion for playing the harp! Ashley has taken lessons since she was very young and she is becoming an extremely talented harpist.
Way to go Ashley!

Mrs. Grabiec's 3rd grade class at Williams Elementary has been reviewing Habit 3- Beginning with the End in Mind, as a part of the 1st 8 Dayโs curriculum. The 3rd grade team shared this activity for the kids to work on.
In teams, students had to get their worm through the candy ring by only touching paper clips. The students had fun with it!
