A big "BRAVO!" from WC to the MJHS band, orchestra, and choir. We were so excited and proud to see relatives and enjoyed singing along!

Thank you & great job to our MJHS band, choir, and orchestra for your performance today at Anna Mac. Its amazing how talented our kids are and no wonder our fine arts programs rake in the awards year after year at their competitions. Truly amazing!

Our 2nd graders proudly presented a check to PAWS Tinley Park this week. The hard work of the teachers and students and the generosity of the WC families helped their student-led concession stand generously benefit the animal shelter. Great job, 2nd grade!

The MJHS 8th graders had a blast last week at their black and gold themed 8th Grade Dance! Between the music, food, bubble machine, and photo opportunities, the night was filled with smiles, laughter, and, of course, dancing! Thank you to Mrs. Watson and Mrs. Dobczyk for planning this event and to all the staff who volunteered their time to ensure our students had a wonderful "last dance" at MJHS! The class of 2024 will be missed!

Another wonderful performance was had at MJHS this week with our Spring Orchestra Concert last night! Congratulations to all of our orchestra musicians on a fantastic performance. Your hard work and practice does not go unnoticed! Thank you to Ms. Perkne for always leading these groups with the utmost dedication!

We had a great time in each of the eras of our Family Literacy Night Tour! It was a wonderful evening of family fun. Thanks to our staff and families for making such a great event!
