Dean’s Corner – Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds!

I’m excited to be back after spending six weeks with my growing family! As we continue to thrive in Trimester 3, I want to remind everyone how important a full night’s rest and a consistent routine are for success. Along with rest, bringing a healthy lunch to school is essential for keeping our brains and bodies fueled for learning.

Research from Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health shows that eating balanced meals with whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables helps improve focus, memory, and overall academic performance. Junk food may give a quick burst of energy, but healthy foods provide long-lasting benefits that help students stay engaged throughout the school day.

A big thank you to Mr. Dwyer for doing an awesome job while I was away! Let’s keep up the great work and fuel our bodies with the right foods to finish the school year strong!

Dear MIS Families,

We’re so proud of all the hard work our students have shown so far this year—and we’re excited to finish the school year strong together! The next couple of months will be filled with important learning, fun activities, and many opportunities for your child to continue growing both academically and socially.

Our 5th grade students will be taking the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) next week on Tuesday through Thursday. This assessment provides valuable insight into how students are understanding key science concepts. You can help your child feel confident and ready by making sure they:

• Get a good night’s sleep before testing days

• Eat a healthy breakfast

• Arrive at school on time

• Bring a positive attitude and do their best

At MIS, we continue to encourage and model our Medinah Code of Conduct each day:

• We are Safe

• We are Caring

• We are Respectful

• We are Responsible

As always, your support from home helps us reinforce these important values, and we truly appreciate the teamwork between school and home.

Please continue to check your emails and school communication for upcoming events and important dates, as the end of the school year brings many exciting activities and celebrations.

Thank you for your continued support—we are grateful for our partnership with you!

This week, we proudly honor our incredible Math Specialist and 3rd Grade Team Leader, Miss Bernacki! For the past 17 years, she has been an integral part of the Medinah community, bringing dedication, creativity, and care to everything she does. Miss Bernacki is known for fostering an inclusive environment where students feel safe to take risks, make mistakes, and grow as critical thinkers.

Her lessons are always fun and engaging—today, students practiced adding and subtracting time in a way that made math meaningful and enjoyable! Thank you, Miss Bernacki, for your continued commitment to helping our students thrive! 💙📚⏰
