Today we held a Mock Crash event sponsored by the Illinois Neurological Institute through the ThinkFirst Program. "Operation Prom Night" integrated many of our local emergency organizations and our student actors to show our students the impacts of impaired driving. Thanks to everyone who committed time and resources to educate our students, including: Manito Police Department, Forman Fire Department, Green Valley Fire Department, Mason County Sheriff's Department, ThinkFirst, OSF Healthcare EMS education, OSF Life Flight, IL Department of Transportation, Hurley Funeral Home, ABG Towing/Andy Dill, Mason County Coroner's Office, Il State Police, Meyer's Country Gardens, and SIU School of Medicine. A special thanks to Michelle Watson for sharing her story.
Attention Raider Community - Today (Wednesday, May 3rd) we are doing a car crash simulation at the High School for students.
There will be a multitude of emergency vehicles, possibly including Life Flight, involved in the simulation. First responders will be arriving and setting up starting around noon with the simulation occuring a little later in the afternoon.
Please do not worry, we are all okay at Raider Nation! :-)
The MCYWC would like to present our Family Movie Night!
One of our goals as a club is to create connections with families and community members. We will be hosting a Family Movie Night at Veterans Park on Saturday, May, 27th, 2023.
Our main goal is to provide an event to support time together; there is no admission fee, and popcorn is FREE!!! There will be concessions and a 50/50. The funds raised from concessions and the 50/50 will support wrestlers’ summer camp fees and new wrestling mats. Although there is a fundraising component, you are not required to give to attend. This event is free to all.
We appreciate all the support and look forward to seeing more kids involved! We are so grateful to be a part of this community!! đź–¤
