Embarking on an engaging dialogue, Ambrosia and Nicki from the Recovery Oriented System of Care (ROSC) spoke with junior high students. They shared stories, shed light on local support services, and fielded an array of inquisitive questions.

National Special Education Day marks the anniversary of the nation’s first federal special education law, signed by President Gerald Ford on December 2, 1975. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) made public education available to all children across the nation and ensured special education and related services were provided for children with disabilities. December 2nd is dedicated to recognizing and honoring the unique abilities and talents of students with special needs. It is crucial that, as a culture, we recognize the contributions and perspectives that these individuals bring to our classrooms and communities.
To celebrate this important day, take the opportunity to recognize the efforts of the Shiloh CUSD#1 Special Education Teachers who support these students, encourage progress, and help them realize their full potential.
Senior Mara Bosch is featured on this December 1 edition of the "Shiloh Shout Out."

It is holiday time and that means the Shiloh #1 Student Council and Shiloh FFA Chapter-Illinois are working on our food basket project. We will be collecting food and donations from December 1-11. This year we will be helping 50 families in our school district!
We gather food such as canned vegetables, canned fruit, cereal, macaroni, peanut butter, soup, canned chicken and instant potatoes. We also buy ham, potatoes and extra non-perishable items for each family with donation money. We could not do this service project without the support from our school and the community.
Thank you Mike Pine and Milk Specialties Global for donating $1,000 to Student Council for our food baskets. Mike also helps with driving a route for our busses occasionally.
This donation will buy the hams that will be provided for families in our community. Thank you Mike for your generous donation!!
Announcement Correction: There is no play practice after school today.

Partnership in Parenting gathered for their November group to celebrate reading and Thanksgiving. The theme was "Turkey Tales and Tails," so they read a rhyming tale, "Five Silly Turkeys" by Salina Yoon. Then, they made turkey tails by using markers to color coffee filters and attaching them to clothes pins. Families worked together to add eyes, beaks and wattles for the turkeys' faces.
For snack, the children used their small muscle skills to smash graham crackers into crumbs and smoosh pudding and pumpkin together to make Pumpkin Pie in a Bag.
Each child chose a turkey book to take home, and one lucky family won a real turkey to gobble up on Thanksgiving Day! Several PIP-Squeaks and their families were home sick, so they were sent healthy wishes for quick recoveries.
