A wonderful evening of learning and leadership at Millikin Elementary!
Thank you to Principal Philip Moe and fifth graders Cora George, Lyla Gorman, Weston Nordstrom and RJ Southwick for welcoming our Board of Education into their school, leading a tour of the building, and sharing a presentation about Millikin’s LEAFS Skills.
The students did a wonderful job showcasing the skills and values that help make Millikin a special place to learn and grow. We are proud of their confidence, leadership and ability to share their learning with others!
This meeting also marked the first of five Board of Education meetings this school year that will be held in our schools. These visits provide a great opportunity for our Board to see learning in action, connect with students and staff, and celebrate the outstanding things happening across our district.

On Wednesday morning, Geneseo High School honored local veterans with a special tribute recognizing their service, dedication, and sacrifices made in service to our country.
The school welcomed local veterans for its annual Veterans Day assembly, featuring a heartfelt tribute from Navy veteran Joe Bedford, who shared his experiences and the lifelong lessons of service, discipline, and teamwork.
We are proud of our students and staff for helping recognize those who have served and for keeping their stories alive for future generations.
On the 11th month, 11th day, and the 11th hour, 1918, the Great War (WWI) ended. A few years later, Americans established Veterans Day, honoring our service men and women for their many sacrifices for our nation for the past 250 years. Today, GMS shows our appreciation for Veterans and their families with a wall of heroes.
This program gives our athletes access to collegiate- and professional-level training principles right here at Geneseo High School. We'll focus on developing explosiveness, acceleration, speed, change of direction, and conditioning to help athletes gain an advantage heading into their spring seasons. Most importantly, our goal is to build capable, durable, and confident athletes who understand how to train and make their best even better!
On Veterans Day, we pause to honor and thank the brave men and women who have served our country. We are grateful for your courage, sacrifice, and dedication to protecting the freedoms we enjoy every day.

A little color, a lot of creativity in 7th grade!
Our 7th graders explored the meaning and emotions behind color as they designed their own fused glass pendants. Students started by choosing colors they personally connected with and discussing the meanings and feelings often associated with different colors.
They then used their color choices to create unique pieces of wearable art that reflect their own creativity and personal expression.
No two pieces are exactly alike, and that's what makes them special!

One of our favorite traditions at GHS is our Student of the Quarter Breakfast!
This special event brings together students, parents/guardians, and staff to celebrate the students who make our days brighter. Each student receives a certificate, but one of the most meaningful parts of the morning is hearing staff members share why they nominated their student. From a positive attitude and a willingness to help others to kindness, perseverance, and the little things that don’t always get noticed, these stories remind us of the impact our students have on our school community.
These breakfasts are a great reminder that success isn’t measured only by grades, awards, or accomplishments. Sometimes, it’s the way you treat others, the effort you put in, and the positive energy you bring each day that makes you stand out.
Congratulations to all of our Students of the Quarter! We are proud of you and grateful for the ways you make GHS a better place!
