KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS DONATION The MCHS Special Education Department would like to thank the Knights of Columbus for all their hard work and hours spent during their Tootsie Roll drive this year. Money collected from the drive benefits individuals with intellectual disabilities. Four agencies in Marengo received a portion of the total proceeds. MCHS received $946.69, which will be used to purchase items and rewards for the Bridge and Transition Programs for their continued development. We greatly appreciate this gift. 1 STUDENTS OF THE MONTH The PRIDE committee of Marengo Community High School recognized ten students selected by the faculty as “November Students of the Month.” They were nominated for many reasons, including positive attitude, hard work, taking a leadership role, and willingness to help their fellow students. These students are: (left to right) Front Row: Isabela Magallanes (freshman), Anna Cruz (freshman), Grace Phillips (freshman), Lynsey Steinke (freshman), & Madeline Morse (freshman); Back Row: Stephanie Pitones (senior), Joshua Streu (senior), Gage Zimmerman (senior), Chase Vogt (sophomore) & Cory Hasse (sophomore).

Members of AFS and the Reading Club visited the Christkindlemarket in Naperville LATINO OUTREACH TO HOST STUDENT FORUM The Latino Outreach Office has invited former students to serve as panelists for a forum during the afternoon of January 9th in the auditorium. These students are excited to share how they have navigated their paths after high school and the hurdles they have overcome. These students will also invite a former teacher who inspired them for an interview and dialogue to be aired on our own Marengo Radio. We are looking forward to receiving inspiration from these conversations. 2 MARENGO WOMEN’S CLUB HOLIDAY LUNCHEON The Marengo Women’s Club held their holiday luncheon on December 12th at MCHS. Many students participated in the event. The entrée and cheesecakes were prepared by culinary students, flower arrangements were created by students in the floral design, and the choir sang selections from their upcoming holiday concert. We wish to give special thanks to Kim Johnson for providing the festive decorations and party favors, and Liz Molbeck and her kitchen staff for helping with the meal. A lovely time was had by all. MCHS STUDENT COUNCIL Student Council was busy with many activities in December in preparation for the holiday season. Partnering with the Boys Basketball Programs at both Marengo and Johnsburg High School, student council sponsored a Toys for Tots day to donate toys to local families. Thank you to the Marine Corps Reserve and all who donated to help less fortunate families. BBFFA This year the BBFFA game will be on January 25th.

This is an important process in which parent involvement is key. Things to consider when selecting classes: Rigor - Do you qualify to take an Advanced Placement or Honors class? Selective colleges consider this factor when reviewing applications. Graduation Requirements - Do you have the required classes? Career Interests - Electives provide exposure to possible career pathways. Lists of courses suggested by career interest are posted in the back of the curriculum guide. Reminder from the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) in regard to student information. According to Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) all military recruiters have equal access to student directory (name, address and telephone) information unless a parent/guardian and student submit a written statement requesting exclusion to the registrar. This information is regularly requested by recruiters for students in grades 11 and 12. All requests to be excluded (opt out) must be written and signed by all parties. Senior students - Local scholarships are beginning to be posted on the Guidance Web Site. A summary of scholarships is located here but include general opportunities and specific for Engineering, Education or Nursing. 4 ATHLETIC NEWS ALL-STATE ATHLETES HONORED The Marengo Community High School Board of Education honored Blake Heinberg for his selection to the 2018 IHSA Class 4A All-State Football Team at their December 17, 2018 school board meeting.

    Return to Extracurriculars & Activities 2020-2021 Member Schools Harvard High School Johnsburg High School Marengo High School Richmond Burton High School Woodstock High School Woodstock North High School Summary Since the conclusion of the 2019-2020 school year, the Kishwaukee River Conference has been planning how to safely and responsibly return to extra curricular activities. The planning process itself has been a journey, one that has involved reviewing multiple sources of information in order to guide decision-making and help carve a path to the new school year. These sources of information include (but are not limited to) the following: ● Guidance released from the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) ● Guidance received from the Illinois Department of Health (IDPH) ● The State of Illinois’ five-phase reopening plan, Restore Illinois. ​ ​ ● The State of Illinois' All Sports Policy, All Sports Policy ​ ● Guidance released by the Illinois High School Association ● Guidance released by the National Federation of High Schools The main focus of the work was on generating ideas for day-to-day processes and protocols for students, staff, and the wider KRC community. These groups have been instrumental in bringing different considerations forward to the conference administrative team, which then incorporated those considerations into discussions regarding various scenarios for returning to activities in the fall and future seasons. After several weeks and countless hours of discussion regarding the various ways the KRC conduct and host activities in the fall, we as the KRC will compete in each respective fall sport and will monitor ability to participate in winter, spring and summer seasons.

LAMISE AL‐BASHA, ROCKFORD (KEITH) Lamise Al‐Basha’s basketball coach always use to remind her that “your mind is the strongest part of your body.” It took a while, but Lamise finally realized exactly what her coach meant, as her natural ability was often stifled by her own mental barriers. “I struggled with overcoming the mental toughness aspect of the game,” wrote Lamise in her application essay. “I was constantly doubting myself and played without confidence. Finally, I came to understand what my coach had been telling me. Your mind only knows what you tell it. It took time to fight through the mental barriers, but I am a better, stronger person for it.” A look at Lamise’s resume over the past four makes it hard to believe that there are any barriers that have managed to slow her down academically or in sports and activities.
