Back-to-school can be daunting, especially for children facing uncertainties like where their next meal will come from. Our Mable Woolsey Blessings in a Backpack program is dedicated to providing that reassurance, but we can't do it without your help! This school year, you can be the difference for kids who do not know where their next meal will come from when they leave school on Friday. This year we have over 80 students signed up so we need your help to feed them each weekend. This program is completely funded by donations from individuals, organizations, and businesses, so we can't do this without you! It costs just $3.50/student to make sure they have a food pack in their backpack each weekend. Together, we can ensure every child has the support they need to succeed. Donations can be made online at https://giving.blessingsinabackpack.org/organizations/mable-woolsey-elem-school or checks can be mailed to Mable Woolsey (made out to Blessings in a Backpack) at 106 Pleasant Ave, Knoxville, IL 61448. #BackToSchool #ChildhoodHunger #WeekendFood #BlessingsinaBackpack

Students will take a Star test for math and reading. These tests will provide teachers with personalized learning data for each student. Teachers will analyze the data they receive from Star Assessments to learn what students already know and what they are ready to learn next, to monitor student growth, and to determine which students may need additional help.
