Bonjour!
The Plainfield East High School French Club hosted their own Olympic Games last week to kick off the school year.
The club recruited members of the other cultural clubs to make this more representative of the spirit of the Olympic Games.
Students could participate in hula hoop and jump rope contests, Pétanques (French version of bocce ball), relay races, and break dancing.
A special thanks to the club officers which include president, Jason Engh and co-vice presidents Madeline Dygdon & Rachael Uy.
A faculty member said the students are amazing and have worked tirelessly to get this event up and running.
Flags will be at half-staff today at all District 202 buildings in honor of Patriot Day. #neverforget911

“I am so grateful for the Horizon Grant that enabled my research at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago,” said Anthony Mekhael, Plainfield East High School senior.
Mekhael attended Dr. Daniel Shaye’s research program this summer thanks to the Plainfield School District 202 Foundation for Excellence Horizon Grant.
“Through this opportunity, I have mastered various techniques, including DNA cloning for lentiviral transduction and advanced methods like Gibson Assembly and gel electrophoresis,” Mekhael said.
The hands-on research experience will enhance his skills in molecular techniques and microscopy, preparing Mekhael for a career in the medical field.
“Additionally, I've gained valuable experience with C. elegans techniques and essential lab skills such as sterile technique and micropipetting,” Mekhael said.
The Foundation awarded 2024 Horizon Grants to six students to help pay for summer learning enrichment experiences that broaden their academic horizons and explore areas of interest.
The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory and excessive heat watch for our area until 8 p.m. Tuesday. District 202 uses the following guidelines on days with extremely hot and or humid weather:
• Recess/PE outdoors if the heat index is 90 degrees or below
• Recess/PE indoors if the heat index is above 95 degrees
The heat index takes into account both air temperature and relative humidity. If the heat index is between 91 degrees and 94 degrees principals can decide if students stay inside or go outdoors.
