Illini Central Middle School

Correction from the last message with an incorrect date...this will take place tomorrow March 14th. The date in the previous post was wrong.

On Monday, a tragic bus accident took place involving staff and students from the Rushville-Industry school district. Our hearts go out to the families of the victims of this horrible tragedy and we want to help. Tomorrow, Thursday March 13th, we will be hosting a Hat Day at Illini Central to raise money for the families of those involved in the accident. Students can donate $1 or more to wear a hat to school that day. All of the proceeds will be given to the families of the victims. Middle School and High School students can make their donations in the gym before school and receive a sticker to show they have made a donation. Grade School teachers will collect the money from their students in the morning. Thank you for your support.

Here is an updated job openings graphic. We have an immediate Custodian/Grounds worker, bus drivers & kitchen staff positions that need filled as soon as possible. #WeAreIC #BeJimmy
