Share the Gift of Reading with Our Pre-K Students!
We are looking for reading volunteers to join our Pre-K students in the school library on Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. for a special 15-minute reading time.
Volunteers are also welcome to stay and help with lunch afterward if their schedule allows.
Please contact the school office @ 309-367-2528 if you have 15 minutes to share on a Tuesday morning, we would love to have you join us! Your time, kindness, and love can make a lasting difference in the life of a child.
As a Catholic school, we are blessed by those who generously share their time and talents with our students. “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
— Matthew 25:40

American Heritage Girls
American Heritage Girls have their first meeting September 14 after school in the cafeteria. Join us as we start our crafting badge, talk about service projects for the semester and our October bake sale. All medical forms MUST be turned in no later than Monday, September 14, or your daughter CANNOT stay for the meeting. Any questions, reach out to Sara Strong or Shay Obery.
Be Part of the Magic — Join the Auction Committee!
Saturday, March 13, 2027, is going to be an incredible night—and we want YOU to be part of making it happen!
Our school auction is one of our biggest and most exciting fundraisers of the year. Behind the scenes is an amazing group of volunteers who make the magic happen—and we’re looking for more people to join us!
We typically meet about once a month, either virtually or in person. There are lots of ways to help, so you can find a role that fits your time, talents, and interests.
No auction experience necessary! Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or this would be your first time getting involved, we’d love to have you. Please reach out to Morgan Reckling (309) 339-0670, if you are interested in joining.
Homecoming Parade Candy!
Student Council is asking for candy donations for the Homecoming Parade on September 25! Candy can be left in the school office.
