Kahok Families,
As 2023 comes to a close, I want to thank our staff, administrators, families and communities for their constant dedication to our students. Our students continue to see success in the classroom and while participating in co-curricular activities. This wouldn’t be possible without the support given to them outside of school. We are fortunate to call Unit 10 home and look forward to more success in 2024!
Winter Break begins Friday, December 22, and extends to Tuesday, January 2, with students and staff returning on Wednesday, January 3. It’s safe to say everyone is looking forward to a little downtime. In between the holidays, don’t miss the opportunity to attend the Prairie Farms Holiday Classic at Fletcher Gymnasium Wednesday, December 27 – Friday, December 29. Don’t forget: The Kahok Hall of Fame Class of 2024 will be announced at halftime of the Collinsville vs. Decatur Eisenhower game scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. Don’t forget to wear your purple, come watch some basketball and be ready to cheer for the Kahoks!
Our district has partnered with the Southern Illinois Health Foundation to provide school physicals, immunizations and treatment for common ailments (cold, cough, sore throat, earache, etc.) Their offices are open for in-person visits at CMS on Mondays and Tuesdays, and via tele-health on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Please call (618) 578-5701 to schedule an appointment. Life rarely slows down and SIHF is here in a convenient setting to assist our families throughout the year.
Attached you will find information about CHS Band’s annual stuffed shells fundraiser. Here’s the link to place an order. Take advantage of this once-a-year opportunity to support our high school band program and enjoy a delicious Kahok tradition.
I want to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable holiday season with family and friends. Please be safe!
Happy Holidays and Go Kahoks!
Mark B. Skertich, Ed.D.
