Last week Anna McDonald enjoyed a special reward day! Thank you to all the staff and parent volunteers that helped make this day a sweet success!

We're hiring for the 2025-2026 school year. Help us spread the word as we build our team for the next chapter in Manhattan 114!
Our SRO team will be visiting MIS this week to talk to students about their safety and making sound choices as they begin to use smart devices and social media platforms. In addition to supporting our students, they've brought "It's a We Thing Wednesday" to life in order to provide quick but important insight to MSD114 parents as WE all work together to keep our kids safe. Check out today's episode!

Ms. Davern and Ms. Innes’ 5th grade classes had pen pals from Beecher this year. Last week they were able to meet them! Beecher teacher, Mrs. Pro even hosted the Potato Olympics for the students from both schools. Our students were the coaches for their potato athletes. The students enjoyed lunch, the beautiful weather, and made new friends and memories!

Monster Project 2025 was a huge success! Wilson Creek first graders drew monsters in art class and sent them over to MJHS. Junior High digital media and STEM students then brought the monsters to life in digital and 3D printed form!

Manhattan Junior High School’s Fishing Club held its first-ever Fishing Outing at the beautiful Monee Reservoir — and it couldn’t have been a better day for it! The weather was perfect, the fish were biting (a little), and our students had an unforgettable experience learning, laughing, and enjoying the outdoors with parents and staff.
A big thank you to Coach Hannig for making this event possible and for sharing his passion and knowledge with our students. Here’s to many more outings ahead! Fish on, Demons! 💙🎣
