  • Du Quoin Community District #300 offers school breakfast daily.  We offer fresh fruits, low fat dairy products and whole grain options to complete a nutritious breakfast each day.  It’s a proven fact that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. When having a nutritious breakfast, it improves attendance, decreases tardiness and behavior.  Students have better attention and memory and score higher on tests. The cafeteria will be celebrating national school breakfast week with special menus each morning for breakfast. Friday will be cinnamon rolls. 

  • Boys track tryouts will be held starting Monday, March 16 through Thursday, March 19. Tryouts will be held at the high school track and begin at 3:30. All boys in 6th through 8th grade can try out.  You must have a current physical on file in the office before you can try out. More information is posted outside Mr. Montgomery’s door.  

  • Happy Birthday to Mya Sullivan. 

  • Lunch today is pizza.
