State Representative DeLuca
State Senator Joyce
Mayor Adrieansen
Trustee Young
Our 5th graders wrapped up their government unit with a special opportunity to hear from elected officials! Students prepared and asked questions about the role of government, including which laws and ordinances they enjoyed working on, what they do in their other occupations, and how they became involved in their role in government. It was a wonderful way for students to connect what they learned in the classroom to real-life experiences in our community.
🏫💙A Look Inside Anna McDonald School!
Our MSD 114 Board Committee of the Whole meeting was held at Anna McDonald School, giving our Board members the opportunity to spend some time inside the school our 2nd and 3rd graders call home!
Principal Elise Kirk led the Board on a tour, highlighting the many thoughtful additions focused on character, teamwork, and school community. From welcoming spaces to special touches throughout the building, each addition helps make Anna McDonald a place where students feel connected and supported.
Thank you to Principal Kirk for sharing all the ways the Anna McDonald team is creating a positive and welcoming environment for our students every day! 🌟

👏 Leading, Learning & Growing Together!
This week, MSD 114 Director of Operations Joe Trsar and Wilson Creek Elementary Principal Alyssa Mostyn had the opportunity to participate in the Will County Regional Office of Education’s New Admin Coaching Network!

Under the guidance of former Joliet Central High School Principal John Randich, participants are laying the foundation for a school year centered on support, heart-led leadership, and a student-first vision.
We’re proud to see Joe and Alyssa representing Manhattan School District 114 while continuing to learn, connect, and grow alongside educational leaders from across Will County! 💙
