Our 7th–12th grade students are ready to roll up their sleeves and give back on Thursday, October 8 from 8:30–10:00 AM!
Have a project around town, or know a family or an organization, that could use some extra hands? Painting, yard work, organizing, cleanup, and more…we’d love to help!
Send an email to bmilton@arcolaschools.com or any other staff member
or call the high school office at (217) 268-4962
Help us connect our students with meaningful ways to serve the community that supports them!
Please share as well, we want to get the word out around our community!
Congratulations to our PBIS Students of the Month. The trait of the month was Integrity.
