I am delighted to welcome you to this very special Summer edition of The One. This issue shines a spotlight on some of the remarkable support systems that make our school community so special. We also delve into the stories of several of our remarkable students and learn more about them and their future aspirations. Through it all, we see a powerful narrative of community, service, and preparation for what lies ahead.

In this issue, you’ll read inspiring accounts of students who have set their sights on exciting futures, their stories are filled with ambition and hope. Each student’s journey is unique, yet they all share a common foundation built on the support and encouragement they receive from their families, teachers, staff, and the broader Momence community.

Our theme centers on the idea of a support team, emphasizing the collective effort it takes to nurture and guide our young people. The stories within these pages highlight the dedication of several members of our team, the involvement of our parents, and the invaluable contributions of community members who come together to create a nurturing environment. It is this interconnectedness that empowers our students to dream big and achieve their goals.

We also celebrate the spirit of service that is so deeply embedded in our school culture. Our students are not only preparing for their own futures but are also actively engaged in giving back to the community. As you explore this edition, I hope you feel a sense of pride in the collective achievements of our students and the support network that surrounds them. Together, we are fostering a community where every student has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.

Thank you for being an essential part of the Momence Schools family. Your unwavering support and involvement are what make our community strong and vibrant.

With warm regards,


Shannon Anderson
Superintendent, Momence Schools
