Illinois State Scholars represent approximately the top ten percent of high school seniors. Honorees are chosen based on a combination of ACT test scores and class rank at the end of their junior year of high school.

We are aware that the federal government situation involving the (food assistance) SNAP program will have an impact on several of our North Wayne families.

With that being said, we would like to help fill the void for these families. We are still deciding on how and what this will look like. Before we can put anything together, we need to get an accurate count of how many families we have in need. We are simply asking you to send us an email if your family is in need of food assistance at this time. All responses will be discrete and confidential. Please email the principal at your child's building with this information.

Mrs. Bowen - Mt. Erie Elementary (bbowen@northwayne.net) or call the office 854-2611
Mrs. Riley - Johnsonville Elementary (lriley@northwayne.net) or call the office 673-3044
Mr. Bowen - CMS and CHS (kbowen@northwayne.net) or call CMS 673-2156, CHS 673-2154

We hope to have a plan in place by the end of this week.
Thank you and take care,
