Miss Hamilton was a student teacher in our building this semester. She was an asset to our 2nd grade team! I really enjoyed getting to know her an seeing her growth over that last few months. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Miss Hamilton. Congratulations!
From Miss Hamilton: "I will cherish my time here forever I love all the students and staff so much ❤️"

I am speechless! Thank you to all of our primary families! This year I decided to a combined total for Illinois City & Taylor Ridge Schools. I made the goal a too low, apparently. Our Little Rockets and families donated 1, 376 items for local pantries and churches. Just amazing!

Please see the flyer for the specific theme days and thanks in advance for any and all donations to help those in need in our community!

Little Rocket Families,
Please join us in wishing our friend, Sgt Lind well as he recovers from his injuries. We are asking the students and staff to wear blue to support our local law enforcement on November 22, 2022. Thank you.

NHS is extending the Toys for Tots drive through Tuesday, November 22nd. We would love your help in collecting new toys for families in need this holiday season. Toys can be dropped off at any elementary school. The junior and senior high school are in a second hour competition— whichever class brings the most toys will win a donut party!

The NHS is collecting new, unwrapped toys for Toys for Tots. If you can make a donation, please send it to Taylor Ridge or Illinois City with your child or drop it by between 9 AM and 1 PM. Let's fill the boxes!
Happy School Board Member Appreciation Day! A BIG Shout-out to Mr. Johnson for coming out to Illinois City on this snowy morning to help with announcements and reading to our Little Rockets. 🥳
