Our summer session of the Option 3 program is off to a great start in partnership with Nxtgen Speakers & Consulting and J Morris Enterprises. Students are working hard on earning academic credits as well as having a little fun while improving communication skills and core social and emotional learning competencies. Thank you, Mr. Sean Lee, for your dedication and creative efforts with our students!





The Illinois School and Campus Safety Program brought Michelle Denault to ROE 39 to present, "It IS Your Business: Grooming and Sexual Assault Awareness for K-12 Schools and Institutions of Higher Education". Thank you to Program Director Eric Arnold and the many educators, law enforcement officers, community members and parents who spent the day with a heavy topic and left fully committed to keeping our students safe. A special thank you to Michelle for sharing her knowledge and journey of survival and to the Heart of Illinois Community Foundation for their support through lunch sponsorship.
