Tomorrow starts the Semifinal Round of our Lunch Menu Tourney. All students will get an email with the new survey tonight, so check your email to participate! Here's the bracket as it currently stands:

LET'S GET MOVING, HILLTOPPERS! Tired of sitting around? Need a challenge to get you motivated? C'mon, Hilltoppers...LET'S GET MOVING! Here's the scoop: between now and May 5th, you're invited to join a group of other Hilltoppers (staff, students, family members) in setting personal goals, taking steps each day to meet them, and then accomplishing them! Your goal can be anything you want it to be---we ask for 1 thing only: that whatever activity you choose to do, you choose to do it for 55 minutes. [get it? May 5th...55 minutes!] So, your Let's Get Moving goal could be: I want to walk more. Or, I want to jog. Or, I want to ride my bike. Or, I want to Zumba. Or, I want to use my kickboxing bag...for the first time! Or, a combination of any of those, for example. Just train for it to last for 55 minutes on May 5th starting at 5:00pm and going until 5:55pm. The link to learn more and to join: https://forms.gle/1oVANvp9Y3Mif85Z6

We missed our big culture credit project fair, but some are still completing theirs. Looking good, mis hijos🥳

Bricks delivered to the construction site today!

Although I greatly miss the students and working in the shop, it’s great to see them apply their skills at home. This freshmen has been working on fabricating a hitch to be mounted on the back of a John Deere Gator. Nice work!

¡Olé! Teagan Wyss just earned his Seal of Biliteracy!! Congrats, Teagan.

SENIORS--if you have scholarship applications that you need to turn in still let me know. If you are still wanting to apply for some scholarships I can email the application to you--just let me know!

Staying Connected: Pics of What We're Doing At Home

Social Distancing: Here's what it means.

Nutrition students work on garnishing, making apple swans at home, on day 1 of the outage.

With so many uncertainties for all of us, we do not want providing food for our families to be another. Many of our circumstances are changing quickly (jobs, childcare, finances). So, lets continue to work together to get through this! The local churches and community have come together in this time to help one another. Many people have donated food and money to help meet needs. If you are in need of food, we want you to have it! TODAY, food will be available from 3-7 p.m. at the front of the Mt. Pulaski Christian Church Family Life Center (114 N. Lafayette). Just pull on up near the doors, pop your trunk, and I (Casey McCormick) will come out alone and figure out how we can meet your family’s needs. We’ll get you on your way as quickly as possible. If you need food, but this time doesn’t work, please contact me (Casey McCormick) at 217-331-8471 to make arrangements to get you what you need. It would be best to get this food into your hands as quickly as possible, as we don’t know what restrictions will be implemented next.

Due to growing concerns over Covid19, Mt. Pulaski Schools will be operating on a half day schedule releasing students at 11:30 AM. Any families choosing to keep their students home from school today will receive an excused absence with no consequences, including high school students seeking to not take finals. Teachers will have home instruction packets available for student pick up by the end of the school day today. The building will be open during the rest of the week from 8 AM to 1PM daily for families to pick up student supplies and resources. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
