Monroe Elementary

5th Grade Social Studies students visited our Kindergarten students at Monroe to teach Colonial America style. 5th grades created their own hornbooks with letters, numbers, colors, shapes and words and then used them to review with a Kindergarten friend.

Fall Rotary Athletic Heart Screening Program

The 2026 Fall Rotary Heart Screening program will be Saturday, November 7, 2026 starting at 8 a.m. in the Heart Center at Sarah Bush Lincoln. In an effort to make this valuable screening available to all high school athletes who are between 15-17 years of age (at the time of the screening), we are simplifying the distribution and collection process of the screening forms and we need your help!

The registration forms along with the parent letter are attached to this email. Please make a copy of the packet for each eligible high school athlete (must be between 15-17 years of age at time of the screening) in your school and ask your head coaches to encourage parents to mail forms back to SBL at:

SBL Heart Center
Attn: Lori Richardson
1000 Health Center Drive
Mattoon, IL 61938
OR email completed forms to lrichardson@sblhs.org

Please encourage parents to return the completed paperwork to SBL no later than Friday, October 23, 2026

We will need all three of the following completed forms in order to schedule athletes for screenings:
RAHS Registration Form
RAHS History Worksheet
RAHS Student Participation and Parental Approval
If you have questions, feel free to contact Lori Richardson, Clinic Supervisor – Heart Center, at 217-238-4550. For more information, please visit www.sarahbush.org and search for Rotary Heart Screen. We look forward to seeing your athletes on November 7, 2026 at The SBL Heart Center.
