An Author Visit to Remember
New York Times bestselling author and Chicago native Lindsay Currie visited PKMS and CMS, inspiring students through storytelling, creativity, and her journey as a writer.
Rockets on the Big Stage
The Central Rockets Dance Team, fresh off an FVC championship, is downstate competing for Central 301’s first-ever IHSA State title. The bus trip to Central Illinois was a rather stylish one.

Glow Party Earned
HBT second graders celebrated a well-earned class reward with a Glow Party filled with interactive ELA fun and high energy learning.
