Manhattan School District 114

It was another wonderful night of fine arts for our Kindergarten students at Wilson Creek! Great job, Kindergarten!

The first half of our kindergarten students did a wonderful job performing and their first Fine Arts Night! Thanks to Mrs. Bloom, Mrs. Davis, and Mrs. Walsh for all of their hard work with our students, their art work, and their performance! Bravo, Kindergarten!

Manhattan 114 families, we need your help! Please take a moment to complete the Illinois 5Essentials survey for each of the schools that you have a child attending. We're at just over a 9% response rate and we do not receive a report of the results until we meet at least 20%. Thank you for your time and support! https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/

Congratulations to all of our MJHS January and February Students of the Month. In January our focus was Effort and in February our focus was Reflection. We love recognizing these outstanding students for their positive contributions to the MJHS learning community! We are all so proud to call you Manhattan Demons!

Hats off to our 6th Grade Concert Band and the Symphonic Band for a solid performance at their I.G.S.M.A. Pep Rally Concert tonight! Best of luck to all of our music groups as they compete at State this weekend!

Happy Social Work Week! Thanks to our MSD114 school social workers for all that they do for our students, staff, and community! You are a vital part our our schools and we appreciate how caring and supportive you all are!

MJHS's Room 122 held their annual Food Drive this year in February. Students were asked to donate food, personal care products, or make monetary donations to support the local Manhattan Food Pantry. Between the donations and items purchased, the group donated a total of 300 items to the Manhattan Food Pantry!

Last week, MJHS students participated in their monthly house meetings. The asset of the month for February was Reflection, so students worked together to accomplish team building activities that required them to work together and reflect on their approaches. We're looking forward to our next successful house meeting coming in March! Go Demons!

Another fascinating STREAM project by our kids at THE MAC
