Sullivan Middle School

Statement Regarding Sullivan Show Choir Competition on Saturday, January 25, 2020. As of the afternoon of Friday, January 24th, weather sources are forecasting overnight snow ranging from 2-6 inches for the area surrounding Crete-Monee with forecasted temperatures in the low 30’s during the timeframe that our Show Choir buses will be making their way to the competition venue. While we are incredibly proud of the tradition of excellence that exists in our Show Choir program and are very excited for them to compete on Saturday, we believe that a big part of “Thinking of Students First” is keeping their safety first and foremost in our decision making. We will continue to monitor weather forecasts throughout the evening, and the plan moving forward is to send our show choirs to Crete-Monee as planned; however, we will be sending an administrator along with the buses to continuously monitor road conditions to determine if the buses may proceed or should turn around and come home. If the decision is made that it is no longer safe to proceed, the buses will turn around as soon as it is safe to do so and return immediately to Sullivan High School. Notification of a decision to turn around would be communicated through the district’s social media platforms and through the Singers Booster Club.

Sullivan Middle School hosted ISU’s Center for Math, Science, and Technology tonight in the HUB. Educators from central Illinois (including three teachers from Sullivan) came to be trained on their Smart Grid for Schools program. Teachers simulated power plant and smart house activities. After completing the training, educators can sign up for these kits to be shipped to their schools and used in their classrooms. The programs are k-12. A lot of hands-on learning for everyone! Thank you for a wonderful evening! #onetribe
