The Grinch! Thank you to The Vale Family and EVS Mobile Repair for bringing a little Christmas excitement to our Little Rockets! They we so excited.
I am speechless! Thank you to all of our primary families! This year I decided to a combined total for Illinois City & Taylor Ridge Schools. I made the goal a too low, apparently. Our Little Rockets and families donated 1, 376 items for local pantries and churches. Just amazing!

NHS is extending the Toys for Tots drive through Tuesday, November 22nd. We would love your help in collecting new toys for families in need this holiday season.
