AGRICULTURE IN THE CLASSROOM: 2ND GRADE
2nd grade is teaming up with Whiteside County Agriculture in the Classroom this year! Throughout the school year we will be learning about different aspects of agriculture and how it is important to us! This week they worked in groups to unlock boxes by solving riddles that had to do with agriculture! We learned in order to make pizza we depend on farmers to supply us with the products we need to make pizza, sell pizza, and distribute pizza. We need farmers and depend on them every day for food, fiber, and fuel!

ROE 47 is excited for the tremendous turnout this morning for our first ever community partnership planning meeting hosted at Sauk Valley Community College. Area schools, support agencies and community awareness organizations are partnering together to identify the needs of our students and families and making a plan to provide and deliver services .
School Celebration, Stillman Valley High School
Stillman Valley High School students have earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs. These National Recognition Programs grant underrepresented students with academic honors that can be
included on college and scholarship applications and connect students with universities across the country, helping them meaningfully connect to colleges and stand out during the admissions process. Colleges and scholarship programs identify students awarded National African American, Hispanic, Indigenous and/or Rural/Small Town Recognition through College Board’s Student Search Service.
SVHS Seniors Philip Broski, Sophia Morrison and Nick Youman have earned the honor of Rural/Small Town Recognition Award by the College Board National Recognition Program.
“We are honored to celebrate Philip, Sophia, and Nicholas for earning this exemplary recognition. We are very proud of them for their achievements in the classroom and on College Board assessments,” said SVHS Principal, Leslie Showers, “Recognition of this caliber is yet another reason why these students will stand out to elite universities during admissions.”
ROE 47 welcomes area school administrators to Sauk Valley Community College to kick off our September Administrator Meeting. @RegionalOffice47 #RegionalOffice47
