3rd grade at Museum of Science and Industry

Locust first grade travelled to the Burpee Museum in Rockford on Thursday, Nov. 20th to culminate their unit on Native Americans. Students were able to sit in a wigwam, make a clay pinch pot and learn so many more interesting facts! It was a busy but great day!





The Book Fair is such an exciting time for the students.If you didn't send money with your child, you can ship during conferences.




Balloons over Locust. Our kindergartens with the help of their 8th grade buddies treated us to a special parade.

October's PBIS reward was Glow in the Dark Day. This reward is always a favorite way to celebrate Locust students' positive behavior! A special thank you to CEPTA for providing the glow sticks.






Thanks to all the families and staff that came out for McScare Night and supported cePTA.



Such a fun night at Locust Fall Fest! A big big thank you to all the families, students and staff who donate their time and efforts to make this happen! Families were able to have fun as they walked through a spooky bus, bravely made their way though the haunted hallway and of course, all of our wonderful families who set up the best trunks for trunk or treating! Here are just a few pics from the night.








Here's something to hoot about! Kindergarten students learned about owls during a special presentation by Northern Illinois Raptor Rehab & Education.







So grateful to the Marengo Union Fire Rescue for coming to talk with our PreK and Kindergarten classes about fire safety during Fire Prevention Week.




Class of 1975 came to visit

Our students were greeted by many MCHS athletes as part of Homecoming Weekend.





Some of the many MCHS alumni that work for District 165 gathered for a picture before the Homecoming Parade.

Locust students had 'oodles' of fun on Noodle Day, our September PBIS reward day on Sept. 26th. There was drumming with noodles, noodle necklaces, noodle games and a noodle run! So fun! We are looking forward to Glow in the Dark Day for our October reward!



2nd grade students had a great time on their field trip to Royal Oaks Apple Orchard on 9/24.



Our preschool students had a blast in the PBIS Noodle Run today! 🏃 Their excitement and energy made the event so much fun to watch—way to go, little runners!

Tomorrow 9/19 is the last day to turn in your fundraiser! Thank you for helping out our students of District 165!
