Our 8th grade students had an amazing “journey” yesterday exploring future careers at Career Spark! With several hands-on activities and interactive experiences, this trip was nothing short of the ultimate adventure! Honest opinion...this may be the best field trip our 8th grade students take all year!

A huge THANK YOU to Junior Achievement of Central Illinois for organizing such a fantastic event, and to all the businesses, companies, and organizations who volunteered their time to make this experience possible. 💼🙌

Our students returned with their “passports” stamped full of inspiration and excitement for the road ahead!

As a team, both the boys’ and girls’ squads placed 4th overall, finishing behind Elmwood, Macomb, and LVC. The results highlight the hard work and progress our athletes have shown this season, and we’re proud of their continued determination and growth.

A Farmington community member will be participating in the Greater Peoria Honor Flight on October 7th. In preparation for this event, Mrs. Evans taught her 7th grade students about the Honor Flight program and shared information about one of the veterans and his military service. Following the lesson, the students created heartfelt cards for the veteran to read during the "mail call" on the return trip—a special tradition that honors and thanks veterans for their service.
