Mrs. Cope’s second grade class learned about faces, edges and vertices of 3D shapes by using straws and twist ties. The students had fun constructing the shapes.
Behind every successful school, there are dedicated volunteers. Thank you for the countless ways you support our students, from tutoring to event support and everything in between! Your impact is HUGE! #SchoolVolunteersMakeADifference

Doktor Kaboom: Under Pressure!
🚀 Our 5th graders had a BLAST at UIS with Doktor Kaboom! 🔬⚡ Equal parts science, comedy, and personal empowerment, this interactive show had students laughing, learning, and thinking about real-life mental and emotional pressures in a whole new way! 🧠💡
From wild experiments to important life lessons, it was an unforgettable experience! Thank you, UIS Performing Arts Center, for bringing the magic of science to life!
Mrs. Cope, Ms. Laker, Mrs. Vickers, & Ms. McChristy’s class got together with their buddies to play a Dr. Seuss trivia game on their computers, followed by a friendly rock, paper, scissors competition in Mrs. Cope’s room. They always look forward to this special day when they get to connect & learn with one another!
It's National High Five Day! Let's celebrate with some awesome hand slaps! Who are you high-fiving today? #TommyTornado #itsagreatdaytobeatornado
Monthly Dojo Behavior Incentive Reward Party
Every month, 4th grade students are recognized for making respectful, responsible, and safe choices at Memorial School with a reward party. Students got to celebrate with a food art project creating edible "hats" to kickoff Read Across America and Dr. Seuss's birthday next week! These kids did a wonderful job creating hats made for a cat that Dr. Seuss would be proud to wear!
Students in Mrs. Rivecco's class enjoyed performing experiments like picking a card and rolling dice to learn about experimental and theoretical probability.

Dance floor vibes and good times all around! Our students had so much fun at the TJHS Spring Dance! Huge shoutout to Student Council for planning such a great night and to Touch of Class DJ Service for keeping the party going! Check out these fun moments!
Several of our 5th and 6th grade band and choir students represented Taylorville JH at two different festivals recently. In February, 6th grade choir students were selected for the festival, and the 5th and 6th grade band members had their turn in March. Students travelled to Eastern Illinois University to work with guest conductors and other elementary/junior high musicians from the area.
Our 6th grade band participated in the US Marine Band’s March Mania! 32 marches iPhone head to head- and our students voted each day, ultimately choosing their favorite to win the whole thing! We had one student predict the winner! Seth correctly predicted that The Marine’s Hymn March would come out on top! The rest of us had our brackets BUSTED!

Mrs. Grant’s 1st grade class completed a science unit all about weather. They learned about the different types of weather, how to identify clouds, the job of a meteorologist, and the various weather instruments. The 1st graders even made rain in a jar!
