🏛️ Colona Grade School Wax Museum — What a Night! 🌟

Tonight, our students transformed the gym into a living history museum - and they did a WONDERFUL job!

For those unfamiliar, a wax museum is where students research a historical figure, memorize a first-person speech, dress in character, and "freeze" like a wax statue. When visitors put change in their jar, the students come to life and deliver their presentation. It's part history lesson, part performance, and 100% impressive.

From presidents to scientists, athletes to activists, our students brought these remarkable figures to life with confidence, creativity, and passion. The depth of research and the pride on their faces said it all.

A huge thank you to our teachers for guiding this project and to the families who came out to support tonight. Also, a big thank you to the PTA for purchasing all the presentation boards for every student.

Moments like these are exactly what make Colona School District #190 such a special place to learn and grow. 💙

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are excited to announce that Community Health Care (CHC) will be offering a Mobile Clinic for the first time this year during Colona Grade School’s Registration.

To ensure CHC is able to attend, we must meet a minimum number of scheduled appointments, so please sign up as soon as possible.

CHC accepts insurance, the medical card (Medicaid), and offers a sliding fee scale for those without insurance. Please remember to bring your insurance card and a photo ID to your appointment.

You can easily schedule an appointment by scanning the QR code provided, which will take you to a secure HIPAA-compliant scheduling link.

We’re grateful to offer this convenient health service to our school community and look forward to seeing you at registration!
