🇲🇽 Second grade’s second passport stop was Mexico during the week of Mexico's Independence Day! 🌎✈️
We explored Mexican culture through food, communities, and art! Each kiddo even created their own Frida Kahlo-inspired self-portrait, complete with Frida’s famous bushy eyebrows! What amazing artists they are!
Our passports are ready, and they can’t wait to see where we’re headed! Next stop, 🇩🇴 Dominican Republic!
Enjoy your weekend!
Our ESL class celebrated Mexican Independence Day today! Viva Mexico!🇲🇽
This morning the Rotary Club of O'Fallon Sunshine recognized our new teachers with a generous donation to our staff. We are so grateful for their partnership!
Today is International Dot Day—a day inspired by the book The Dot and the simple, powerful message that one small mark can make a BIG difference. It reminds us that creativity, courage, and believing in ourselves can start with something as simple as making a dot. ✨We want to thank all of our staff for the mark they make everyday in the lives of our students!
At tonight's board meeting we recognized the August Superintendent Shout Outs DEES PK student Antonio De Avilla and JAMS 5th grader Jerome Rogers, III for being outstanding leaders in our schools!
Our second graders officially started their journey around the world, and we felt it was only fitting to make our first stop New York City! 🗽
Students learned about Ellis Island and thought about what they would pack in their suitcase if they were beginning a journey to a new home. Then, they pulled out their passports and received their very first stamp in NYC!
With Hispanic Heritage Month beginning, we can’t wait to see where our passports take us next!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Reminder, we have no school on Monday! Enjoy your Labor Day!

This year our staff were reminded to be marigolds, not walnuts! Our second graders talked about how marigolds are companion plants they help the plants around them grow and thrive. They connected that to our school community and talked about how we can be marigolds too by being positive influences, helping others, and making the people around us better.
Each student planted their own marigold seed, and now we’ll get to observe them as they grow throughout the year. What a fun way to tie together our “Be a Marigold, not a Walnut” message with some hands-on science!
Cheer camp opportunity!
Important message from the bus company! Again, if you have concerns, please contact them at 618-632-3399.
