With the crispness of Fall in the air and the leaves making their annual transformation, I'm pleased to share some of our own colorful renewal and change taking shape in this, the first issue of 'The One' for this school year.

Momence Schools have long been an incubator of talent, ambition, and perseverance. In this issue of 'The One,' we pay homage to one such talent: a Momence alumnus who has risen to become a D1 Defensive Line Coach, marking our proud tradition of nurturing individuals who excel far and wide. Equally captivating are the narratives of ten current students. Their aspirations, achievements, and daily endeavors underscore the rich tapestry of potential within our halls. Complementing these tales are the stories of two exceptional educators, pillars in their own right, molding the future one lesson at a time.

Every narrative in 'The One' is a testament to what Momence Schools stands for. We don't just educate; we inspire, we challenge, and we celebrate the many faces that represent our legacy, our present, and our future.

I hope this issue serves as both a reflection of where we've been and a beacon for where we're headed. Here's to a season of inspiration, introspection, and immeasurable pride in our community. We are #theone.

Warmly,

Shannon Anderson
