It's been a full week of school spirit thanks to Winterfest! Tonight is the senior night basketball game, and tomorrow is the dance.
To hear about all the upcoming activities, listen to the newest "Shiloh Shout Out" featuring senior Dillon Bisby.
Good Afternoon,
In an effort to keep our community informed, we are sharing information that we currently have 4 positive COVID cases in the elementary side of our building. We do not want to unnecessarily alarm anyone, but we also want to be transparent. We are doubling our efforts to sanitize the building as the safety of our students and staff is our first priority.
If your student is experiencing COVID symptoms, our school nurse has access to free COVID tests that are available to be sent home. Please contact her with your request or questions at boschk@shiloh1.org or call at (217)531-1850 ext. 1019.
Please do not send your student to school if you are concerned for their health or they test positive for COVID.
Thank you for your efforts in keeping our school safe.
Best Regard,
Bill Myers
Seniors have mailboxes outside of Mrs. Pierce's office where all paper copies of scholarships will be distributed. Digital copies will be on the school website.
It is up to seniors to check their mailboxes or the school website. Scholarships can be mailed directly to the address on the application. They can also turn applications into Mrs. Pierce, and she will mail or hand deliver them for the students.
If you have any questions email Mrs. Pierce or stop by her office.
This week's "Shiloh Shout Out" covers a packed week of upcoming activities and features 10th grader Erin Knofsky!

Shiloh parents,
Today, Thursday, January 5th, is a 2:05 dismissal. Please make arrangements for early pick-ups and bus arrivals.
There's a new clock in the high school hallway to help students make it to class more efficiently.
Mrs. Donnals’s 5th grade class incorporated SEL into the new year by reflecting on 2022 and setting goals for 2023! They also did a New Year's mystery pixel activity by answering questions and plugging the answers into a mystery puzzle. It was a great start to the new year!
Last month PIP-Squeaks and their families gathered for their December group connection. They enjoyed Iza Trapani’s beautifully illustrated book, “Jingle Bells,” learning about the holiday traditions of children in other cultures. Then it was time to ring their own bells while singing the song.
The most requested activity of the year-making cinnamon ornaments-was a big hit. The children used all their senses to explore the fragrant dough and cut out ornaments to take home to hang on their tree or to give as a treasured gift. Before leaving, each child chose a holiday book and a tasty tree treat.
Tutoring for our 3rd - 5th grade students will resume on Monday, January 9th. There will be no tutoring this week as it is a short week.
We hope everyone has had a refreshing break and is almost ready to start the 3rd quarter. Classes begin on Wednesday, January 4. Winterfest week begins on January 9 with a FULL week of activities. There are 2:05 dismissals on January 5 and January 19 and no school on January 16.
This week the 2nd graders did "Christmas Around the World" with 3rd and 4th grades. They traveled with passports, made brooms, tried Mexican candy, made gingerbread houses, and learned about Christmas cards before sending their own. They also made nativity light catchers and Brazil Christmas necklaces.
There is play practice on Wednesday, December 28 at 2:30 pm.
We have a busy day at Shiloh with finals, fun days, and the Elementary Winter Concert. To make it easy for our JH/HS students to transition after lunch, we will unlock doors at 12:40 for families to come in for the concert. Thank you for your help making the day safe and easy for all students and guests.
